Pocket Casts was recommended to me as an Android user awhile before A8c acquired them, and I have been so happy ever since! Making the web player free to everyone is a big deal, because making more content available matters. <3
My sister team
@pocketcasts.com just opened up their web player to everyone, including free plans! blog.pocketcasts.com/2025/03/11/w...
I use pocket casts almost daily. Here are some of my favorite tech podcasts:

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Sabbatical has been great for my decision making. Today, for example, I decided a good idea was hill repeats, in a cemetery, listening to My Favorite Murder, alone, in the rain. Got my heart rate way up!

Because I'm not a huge nerd, I'm obsessed with this show called Engineering Catastrophes. And I'm so annoyed that THREE different episodes feature 601 Lexington. We get it! They didn't consider the cross winds!
Quick reminder: not a huge nerd.

So excited that Tumblr posts were cited as research in a PDF on @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on "organized retail crime." Definitely confirmed Tumblr's rep as a place to get legitimate retail research. Definitely. We are known for that. Always have been. Industry lobbyists, come get your research
