No terms were given co-founders Russell Ivanovic and Philip Simpson, based in Adelaide SA, Australia, will continue to lead Pocket Casts as part of Automattic WordPress says “we will explore building deep integrations with and Pocket Casts”, which might mean they have aspirations as a podcast hosting company. Podcast app (and website) Pocket Casts has been bought by Automattic, the owners of Wordpress and Tumblr. This is a bright new chapter for us where we can focus on what we do best, bringing you the best possible podcasting experience we can.” - Russell and Philip, the founders of Pocket Casts “Let’s be honest, 2020 was rough for all of us individually but also for us as a company. It's making all things "computing" feel much less reliable than they used to be.Also listen on a smart speaker, or in a podcast app But it's fraught with complicated gotchas that can make it go wrong. I feel like the whole concept of "making your changes available from any device you log into" is one of those pipe-dreams the Cloud made theoretically possible, so everyone started chasing it.
And even when it technically works properly, you have "user error" issues related to people storing some data under one login but switching to using a different one and forgetting some of the expected content has vanished because it's stuck under that older login. I've certainly seen my share of errors syncing content on people's Microsoft OneDrive too, requiring the client and its cache be deleted/reset so it re-downloads *everything* to get it back in sync. "Compatible" alternatives like Apple Mail can break things. I mean, to this day, there are issues with Microsoft Outlook's calendar/scheduler syncing where you just can't 100% reliably schedule or accept invites in it if you're not actually using the Outlook client.

Not trying to make any excuses for it, but I find "syncing" is just a troublesome challenge for almost all makers of software for any platform? Any comments regarding these, or suggestions for others to consider? Off to belatedly check out some of the alternatives. It would be nice to be able to hide those podcasts from the main library list (I’ve tried deleting from the library but continuing to subscribe, and all sorts of other means, but now seem to work, at least not for me.) On the other hand, to so thoroughly and effectively mess things up like this definitely takes effort.Īnd for all that they did, why can’t they implement a folder or tag system? Often, podcasts that aren’t active will have a single episode pop up a year or so later to introduce a new project. I can’t believe that these sorts of issues could be bugs because it should never have gotten past alpha testing. The UI is somehow actually less intuitive than the prior one (which already was below standard for Apple software).It has downloaded hundreds of episodes that I didn’t want or have already listened to.It has lost many but not all of the “played” tags so I have to go back and re-mark them as played.The sort doesn’t always work and when it does, changes don’t persist.
I subscribe to (follow?) over 100 active podcasts (mostly medical, related to what I do.) So far on my phone, I have found that: Click to expand.No, it is definitely messed up.
