With so many big players making moves, we dive into the shifting tides of the podcasting world. The joy of Spotify's move towards open podcasting is tempered by our wariness of their advertising tactics and data collection—concerns that resonate with anyone mindful of the digital footprint they leave behind. We share our experiences grappling with these ethical dilemmas, balancing the desire to reach a wide audience with the need to safeguard listener privacy and content integrity. Whether you're a budding podcaster or a savvy listener, this episode promises a thought-provoking journey through the cultural currents shaping our beloved medium.
