Summary

Podcast apps are personal: each person has a set of features they care deeply about, and sometimes it's just that an app feels more native. Dave says all it takes is one solid feature someone can't live without. For him that's live: he needs an app that pushes a notification when a show goes live.

Not in the audio. Guest episode (Todd Cochrane, Mike Dell; 0.35 threshold). The surrounding passage is first-person about Dave's own love of live items, which supports attribution.

    the listeners don't care. Because they don't know they're supposed to. Like, if once you once you see something like pod verse, pop up a live stream notification, you're like, I don't ever want that to not be on my phone anymore.

    For any person. For each gift for each a unique person, there's going to be a set of features that they themselves cared deeply about.
