Should be more. We are paying after all. Also remove ads from podcasts.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


It’s a jam-packed Tuesday, with Spotify debuting its biggest audiobook development yet, an exclusive interview with the writer of the Audible Original Six Sermons, and Malcolm Gladwell’s Pushkin Industries laying off a third of its staff.

This new model, based on subscription and listening hours, gets around the Apple issue and takes a pretty different approach from Audible, the industry’s biggest player.

And if we can trust some leaked code references to Spotify’s forthcoming HiFi tier (or “Supremium” — hate it), users may get access to 30 hours of audiobook listening per month.

The script caught the attention of Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu, who plays Alexis, and Tony winner Bill Irwin, who voices the role of the late pastor.

But in the Lutheran community, and what they call the mainline Protestants, which includes Presbyterians, Methodists, the Church of Christ, Episcopalian, right… there’s sort of like this theological slice of Christianity where suicide is not a sin.

Facing a hostile economic environment for narrative podcasts, Malcolm Gladwell’s Pushkin Industries is cutting a third of its staff and switching up its leadership.

That’s a really bad summary of the article.
