The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, and Web Bixby discuss the implications of Apple CFO Luca Maestri's departure and what, if anything, it means for the company. Then, a debate ensues over an article claiming that Apple podcasts are loosing market share to YouTube and Spotify, The differences between aggregation and hosting, consumption trends among younger audiences, and the evolving definition of podcasts all cast doubt on the relevance, even if it is accurate.
