@elduvelle Boston Lot! I’ve photographed this same spot many times. Beautiful area. Great pic!
@scalzi Oh, I love me some banana pudding. Growing up in eastern Ohio, we’d have ham loaf for special dinners. So good… mmmmmm….
@waxy I really miss the arcades of my youth. Earlier this year I went to the American Classic Arcade Museum in Laconia, NH. Felt like a giddy little kid walking in there. My wife said my eyes about popped out of my head. So much fun.

Welcome, Stitcher users!

I started Overcast ten years ago in large part because I was afraid of Stitcher taking over the market with its proprietary walled garden (which was even more walled at the time, and was gaining significant traction).

I wanted to ensure that the open world of podcasting survived and thrived, even when faced with strong proprietary threats.

The names and players have changed since then, and the battle continues, but open podcasting remains dominant and healthy today.
