Maybe now they’ll actually put some effort into that podcast app https://t.co/pCV50GaO2W

I expect Apple to have as much success with exclusive podcasts as everyone else has. https://t.co/sYi1XPSpdU

But also, the easiest way into this is buying a podcast ad network/platform… Hmmm… who has gone silent on my emails recently…???https://t.co/YAL43jnQO0

podcast wars!!! but really, if apple starts getting into the exclusive podcast game, that'd be a huge shift. notably apple podcasts is free to use, so idk if they would try to monetize that or just take a cut of sales revenue from the shows?https://t.co/zWstSmjDbR

You know… this is a way into ancillary revenue quite easily. Dunno that Spotify has proven that in a big way… yet. But also: officially putting my hand out. Want me to dial up a daily podcast for you-name-the-niche? Get in touch. :) https://t.co/YAL43jnQO0

Apple ignored podcasts for a decade, has the crappiest tools in the industry, and it thrived only when other companies truly dived in.........so now it wants in? ?

Hello @ApplePodcasts. If you look for a good Spanish podcast focused on Apple development world for evangelize people in the Swift language and Apple developer tools, we are here. Apple Coding and Apple Coding Daily will be gratefully you ??? https://t.co/G1Q97wEqT9

소문에 의하면, Apple은 Apple 독점 팟캐스트에 투자할 것 https://t.co/w0kZ4PPTtI

• 이 문제에 익숙한 사람들에 따르면 오디오 서비스에 독점적인 오리지날 Podcast를 펀딩하는 계획으로, 경쟁사인 Spotify 및 Stitcher를 계속 견제하기 위해 업계에 대한 투자를 늘릴 계획입니다.

With @Apple announcing plans for exclusive podcasts, we're curious: what are some of your favourite #podcast networks/shows?
— Spence Digital (@SpenceDigital) July 16, 2019
We're often listening to shows from @radiotopia or @CANADALAND, but are always looking for new recommendations.https://t.co/c3fKdXXnCi
To whom it may concern at @Apple and @Spotify, I am willing to entertain offers to fund my chicken parm focused podcast, The Sub-parm Podcast. LMK https://t.co/qxok6Oc8Dc via @technology

Absolutely not a surprise. But while market for original podcast content keeps growing, it would be great to see some company (big or small) really solve podcast *analytics* too https://t.co/l3GUjiZDg2

This is huge news (if true). Apple is planning to move into the original podcast space. https://t.co/UUUFmCXlJ0
— Andrew Davies (@awrd) July 16, 2019
This makes a lot more sense than TV+ or other parts of Apple’s original content strategy tbh. Apple Podcasts is already insanely dominant so would be easier for them to exert more control over distribution https://t.co/McMjmwzaLM

Imagine one second Google producing exclusive email newsletters only available through Gmail. Imagine Mozilla producing "webpages" exclusively for Firefox. Terrible for the internet IMHO.

Better to work on a Substack/Apple News-like road to monetisation. https://t.co/mxL2QP841W
