Spotify doesn’t have podcasts

Recode by Vox: “Spotify wants to own the podcasting space, and it’s made that clear with a series of high-profile acquisitions and deals over the past two years — including the Ringer, Gimlet, Joe Rogan, and, most recently, Megaphone. Its next goal: get more of its 300 million users to start listening to podcasts.”

I wish folks would stop calling what they serve up Podcasts. A Podcast uses open standards and provides an RSS feed you can subscribe to.

So, Spotify, please stop calling your audio talk shows podcasts.
