  Spotify, already the bane of many podcasters’ existence, has decided to amp things up: Now it’s scouring podcasts to see if any infringe on “literary content.” It’s already flagged one podcast I host, which reviews/critiques an author’s books one by one, for “infringing” on the book. This is dire.

  Hey “The Bear” watchers. When you’re done, try HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere.” For two shows that on the surface seem very different, they are both stories about midwesterners dealing with grief and figuring out what they want from life. One’s just way more famous.

  The Rest Is History has ruined me, in that I can’t watch Brazil play now without realizing that they are wearing yellow for the Habsburgs. Seriously. You could look it up, or listen to their episode about the Brazil national anthem. https://therestishistory.com/episodes/the-emperor-s-anthem-part-5

  This might be my favorite iPadOS feature in terms of sheer cleverness. Elegant solution to the "hidden window" problem but also hilarious to have a li'l buddy window that just wants to stay in your face

  Just to make this clear, these video integrations want us to stop editing the audio and start editing the video. We don't do this with Upgrade and it's why we're not on Spotify. If you do video on Spotify it throws away your podcast audio file and just uses the audio from the video version.
