@jaredwhite There's a few of these companies striving to monopolise the industry through "exclusives" on their apps.

"Apollo" comes to mind right now, I can't say I like their artistic style judging by one of their public feeds... Feels overly dramatic with little substance.

Others buy out successful indie creators in hope their audience follows them.

Though what really strikes is the whole reason I started getting into podcast fiction is to avoid DRM, & what is Apple doing?
