October 24, 2025 Episode 98 - The Spotify-Shaped Elephant in the Room
Jeff is riding solo this week and naturally takes the show away from its normal good-natured shenanigans and gets real. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek's recent decisions, including investments into AI military startup Helsing and running ICE recruitment ads, have forced Jeff to reconsider the show's use of Spotify as its primary platform, while acknowledging that there's a reason Spotify has been the home base for the show's entire run - it's where most of you listen to it. If you're considering switching as well, check out some of the links below to find us elsewhere:
