WordPress is sliiiiding into your Podcasts.

Not that it’s a bad thing. But it’s a smart play on @automattic’s part. https://t.co/pyPS9Tu4ws

I like what Automattic is doing. Wonder if they’re going to be able to turn it into a real thing. Might be useful to combine everything in a way that allows for indie creators to make money off the combo platforms https://t.co/67x4foeDde

This is wonderful! Of all the companies who buy things, I think I trust Automattic the most. https://t.co/uKhtGjvsgN

i love Pocket Casts and use it every day (often across multiple platforms in the same day!) but every time i open it i worry that it's going to be the last time because it won't survive. maybe i don't need to worry anymore? https://t.co/7a2dzeOU4e

I use Pocket Casts daily. It's a beautiful podcast player that *just works.*

Happy to hear that it's backed up by a company like Automattic now. https://t.co/elQooDMtqA

So grateful that @pocketcasts has been bought by @automattic. It's my favorite podcast app by far (yes, I've tried the one you use) & Automattic seems to take good care of the companies they buy. Hoping this means the app will survive long into the futurehttps://t.co/7wKO0URiNn

Automattic seems to be on a spending spree lately, they just bought Pocket Casts.

I hope this means the team is able to do more with the app, as it has felt pretty stagnant IMO over the 3 years since their previous acquisition.https://t.co/cZ5s9BsRYG
