@larand This is about attempting to better monetize podcasting, plain and simple. Which, given the way NPR and their ilk operate, will, in some way, involve advertising. Which means collecting more data about us. And what better way to do that than acquiring a popular cross-platform podcast app?
"Nothing changes" at the moment, of course, but I wouldn't be shocked if this is how it goes down.
