Apparently Chris Grayling has had treatment for cancer.
This led him to re-evaluate his circumstances and decide to step down at the next election.

In which case, his cancer has done more good for the UK than the man it infested.

I thought the accouncement sounded a bit more terminal than he was just stepping down.

Podcast Addict still pretty good, and the google podcasts app is very straightforward but doesn't have access to as much as other apps and still doesn't support custom feeds from patreon etc.

E: android or iOS is an important question as well I guess.

Also do you drive or hook your phone up to your car? Since some podcast apps work better with Android Auto than others.

I realise it's old fashioned but I miss when podcasts were just mp3s you downloaded off a website.

Everything wants you to use a drat app nowadays.

Never gonna miss that, typing in the name of the podcast I want into the search box on the app and either picking an episode I want or straight up just letting it pull them out of thin air for me automatically for the rest of time is Just Fine.

Having an app for things is incredibly convenient for me, and my brain has now fully adapted to that mentality.

My wife has one of them Vanguard things and kept telling me to put my DWP money in one, but you access it through a website and honestly that sort of seems like barbarism to me now.

I'm watching this live (on premier launch, not a livestream), and one thing Laurence said at the beginning was:

"There are two words that I am legally not allowed to say as part of my bail conditions, so I would like to mention my favourite film, Bladerunner"

He's on the verge of crying and just being pretty unhinged, but the full video isnt worth listening to. I'm going to wait until people have cut out the juiciest snippets and upload them.

100% Overcast then.

It lets you add by RSS feed if for whatever reason your podcast of choice isn’t already in the index, and includes all the usual bells and whistles like automated downloading/deleting, playback speed being adjustable per-podcast or universally, and custom groupings if you wanna separate them out into specific topics.

I just had a quick look at that We Are Lit site she started - nothing posted since 2021. I can't even remember what Lit means.
Is that like Woke but with matches?

Podcasts - I don't listen to many but I use spotify (the free version) for a few that I follow sometimes, don't know if what you want might be on there.
Handy because it's also the app I use most on long journeys and better than youtube because you can keep listening while doing other things whereas youtube stops if you switch apps.

Of course they are. Google are absolute arseholes for creating a really straightforward useful version of something, and then trashing it or rolling it into another product with dangerous security implications* after they get bored of maintaining it.

* Can't remember the product but they auto-imported data from one app to another and inadvertently revealled a woman's current adress to her violent ex-husband. Think it was one of the many google chat apps?

They couldn't stop him from saying racist or crazy poo poo on social media and interviews in recent years, so I guess he doesn't listen to anyone. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how quickly he can get himself cancelled
