On my Om (Om Malik): The Problem with Podcasts
Will the podcasts give me an ad-free experience with subscriptions? The answer is no. I thought the whole point of podcasts was to free us from the past, aka the “radio,” and its format tyranny.
It’s not just podcasts—streaming nowadays is no better than television. Netflix, the company that invented binge-watching, now releases episodes once a week, like old-school TV. Independent blogs and newsletters are less personal and more like old media.
