Castro Podcast App is Alive and Well
Dustin Bluck on, on castro.fm:
Just wanted to give a quick recap of what we’ve been up to with Castro since acquiring the company.
- I was on an episode of The Changelog. If you have any questions about the acquisition, this will probably answer it.
- I did a Reddit AMA for /r/podcasts.
I had a whole draft post about Castro’s owner and his clarity of vision for the app and what makes Castro special. But Dustin went ahead today and posted a great summary of what he talked about in Changelog and on Reddit.
Consider me convinced. I went ahead and renewed my subscription, which I had canceled when all seemed lost last year. I’m very excited about what Castro will offer in the future, likely iterative upgrades with a clear understanding that it just needs to work.
Some smaller features people have been asking about that I can promise we are working on and will come out in the next couple of updates:
- Chapters in Carplay
- Large Interactive / Queue Widget
- Skip outro options
- Clickable timestamps in show notes
- Better episode artwork support
You had me at Chapters in Carplay Dustin.
