What is Extreme Rollerblading?

For anyone who rollerblades. We interview rollerblading pros and talk about inline skating (vert, street, and park). We have a blading trick tip in every podcast episode.

Justin Jackson: At transistor, we believe in the open podcast ecosystem.

And we're big fans of apple inside of that ecosystem.

We're cheering for apple and apple podcasts.

Because we think.

You're doing podcasting right.

Our biggest concern is the amount of friction there
is for podcasters to submit their feeds to apple.

John has run some numbers and 17% of new podcasts on
transistor only submit to Spotify and don't bother with apple.

Here's the trend we've noticed.

Folks will upload their first episode to transistor.

They obviously want to share it with the world.

And Spotify has this one-click integration with us.

As do other providers, but they'll click the Spotify button and instantly.

They're show is submitted.

And often available within 15 minutes.

And increasingly podcasters are stopping there and only submitting to Spotify.

And most of the time, the first link podcasters will
share is the link to their Spotify show because it's live.

On Spotify.

Spotify has a clear advantage because they're making it so easy.

Uh, there's a good chance.

They'll continue to gain market share.

As folks decide to only submit their and subsequently promote it on social media.

We would prefer to highlight apple podcasts in this way,
but right now there's no easy way for us to do that.

In our distribution screen, you can click to submit.

To apple, but then you have to log in to podcasts connect.

And folks have to go through the whole process.
