Wait -- there are podcasts you just can't listen to if you don't have an Apple device? That's beyond absurd.

There are also podcasts you can only listen to on Spotify. Also absurd.

Enough podcasts to listen to that aren't on any of these platforms.

Give me RSS or death.

There’s also a growing number of podcasts you can only listen to if you subscribe to Amazon Music.

If it's not primarily available on RSS, it's a not a podcast IMO. I prefer to call Spotify exclusives "Spodcasts."

Technically you can listen to them using iTunes for Windows, but it's still absurd. It's a closed system, which podcasting should not be.
