To start off this MacVoices Live! session, Chuck Joiner relates a personal story of outstanding Apple support. Then, David Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, Jim Rea, and Web Bixby dig into Spotify's unsuccessful attempt to corner the podcast market, how much damage it did to that market, and to Spotify. Is podcasting really in decline, or is it just more click bait? (Part 1)
