@podtastictech.bsky.socialSome podcasts now open with 8+ minutes of ads before the show even starts. Podtastic's Smart Skip skips the interruptions others leave in — and never tracks you or sells your data. Keep podcasting open. 🎧
@podtastictech.bsky.socialAnthropic's $1.5B pirated-books payout hit day one. Publishers claimed books whose rights reverted 17 years ago. Agents are claiming percentages they don't own. Payout is being redistributed to middlemen in real time. 📚
@podtastictech.bsky.socialYou're driving and the podcast host says something you want to remember — but you can't stop. Triple-tap your headphones and Podtastic saves that moment: the audio, the transcript, and an AI summary, waiting when you open the app. 🎧
@podtastictech.bsky.socialWIRED reverse-engineered Flock's code. It's not just plate readers — officers can now draw a circle and search for a person by description. Scrubs, tattoos, anything. 🔎
@podtastictech.bsky.socialSpotify called RSS an "outdated technology." But every open medium gets eaten — blogs, news feeds. Podcasting is the last one still open, and Podtastic is built entirely on open RSS. No walled gardens. Let's save the last open medium. 🎙️
@podtastictech.bsky.socialPodnews caught a Spotify-owned podcast opening with 8 minutes 11 seconds of preroll ads. Seven ads in a row before the show. Trade press is officially fed up. 🎧
@podtastictech.bsky.socialMapQuest is the #1 nav app in America. Because they refused to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. 184,000 downloads in a week. Google Maps complied. 🗺️
@podtastictech.bsky.socialEvery podcast app has a fixed bottom bar. Podtastic just made yours customisable — drag any tab, hide the ones you never use, put your actual flow first. 🎛️
@podtastictech.bsky.socialBill Gates told MIT Tech Review self-regulation on AI is "kind of a crazy idea." Same Bill Gates who founded Microsoft, currently the biggest investor in OpenAI. Pivot did a whole segment. 🎧
@podtastictech.bsky.socialFlock Safety runs 120,000 AI cameras across 6,000 US communities, scanning 20 billion vehicles a month. Bernie Sanders wants them gone. The network's already built. 📸
@podtastictech.bsky.socialYouTube India's Instagram screen-recording accidentally showed the AdBlock extension active in the right-click menu. Same YouTube that's been bricking ad blockers for two years. 🫠
@podtastictech.bsky.social30 hours of podcasts a week and I used to remember basically none of it. Smart Clips in Podtastic — one tap or triple-tap and the clip saves itself, topic auto-tagged 🎧
