Spotify is a new service from Apple. It allows podcasters to sell their content directly on the web, rather than through Facebook or other sites like Spotify. The company has been criticized for not being open enough about its terms of service. Analis ben thinks it's great: "There's a big opportunity here" But he says if spotifi takes over podcasts, that will hurt independent publishing.
Ben and James discuss Dithering, how Spotify is like Facebook, and a bit about working from home.
