Context (1:30 - 1:45):

It looks like the music industry has really failed to adapt to the digital age when it comes to copyright and they have faced many fierce opponents in this battle. One of their biggest rivals has been The Pirate Bay and this battle fascinates me. So let's get into it.

Mhh, I realized maybe I should have linked to the episode on Fountain but for some reason, I can't search for or load the episodes from Jack Rhysider in the app:

But no error when I go to the library:

So I just looked up the episode on my desktop and realized, you can now listen to podcasts on your desktop! I think the last time I used Fountain, this wasn't possible.

Ok, I just had to update my app and now everything works. Classic PEBKAC :)

Fountain 1.0 should be live this week - massive performance improvement especially on Android

Looking forward to it!

However, I would say I'm a 80/20 desktop/mobile kind of guy when it comes to podcasts. I already liked the Android version quite well so I am especially happy that I can now listen to podcasts while doing other stuff on my desktop. Need to checkout the desktop version more though. Is it new or quite old already?

Btw, I noticed that some podcasts can be claimed. Does this mean not every podcast is uploaded by the author? Or is it just about verification?
