BBC Explains Why It's Removing Its Content from Google Podcasts [winbuzzer.com]
If the Beeb won’t support open podcasts and RSS, who will? Their fixation on the BBC Sounds app is disappointing and bodes ill for the direction of the corporation. https://t.co/UONPzeyq8f

In the latest complication of Google touting its own properties in search results, the @BBC has yanked its podcasts from Google Assistant and Google podcasts app because Google searches allegedly direct people to its own podcast app: https://t.co/P49SHtJwXB #VerticalIntegration

Ok, now here's a major content producer trying to fuck up the open podcast ecosystem. Google Podcasts is just a normal podcast client that reads RSS feeds, no different than Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Apple Podcasts https://t.co/YwizfalEUu

For our friends in England...here’s one example of how the @BBC is using your license fees. They’re trying to force you into a little walled garden with no comfy chairs or even a cup of tea (i.e., their Sounds #podcast app only available in the UK). ?https://t.co/HxnVtHiCS0

Not sure if this is corporate bureaucracy or technological illiteracy, but the BBC is doing itself no favours blocking access to its podcasts. A sound file that's not accessible via an app agnostic feed isn't a podcast at all. https://t.co/wLHfL7zCsg

“A BBC spokesperson said that Google is required to sign a licence to link to their podcasts; and that the Distribution Policy also requires Google to supply user data to the BBC.” https://t.co/4k06aZTtXC

Power play: The BBC “has no choice but to stop Google from making podcasts available". https://t.co/B78iCIR44Z

.@nicnewman told us during a session here at @condenastint that a lack of audience data from voice-based devices could be a problem for some media firms. He was right. The BBC is taking a stand. https://t.co/gYeiPOXOSw
