However, Automattic didn't disclose how much it will pay for Pocket Casts. As per Tech Crunch, both blogs and podcasts use RSS feeds for distribution, so integrating the two platforms is going to be a good move by the company. If you are tech-savvy you must be aware of the advancement in the blogging experience, this move will bring on. "We will explore building deep integrations with and Pocket Casts, making it easier to distribute and listen to podcasts," the statement further read.

"As part of Automattic, Pocket Casts will continue to provide you with the features needed to enjoy your favourite podcasts (or find something new)," a blog post states. Washington, J(ANI): Automattic, the parent company of Tumblr and will soon be acquiring the popular podcast app- Pocket casts from a collective of public radio groups, including NPR and BBC Studios.Īccording to Tech Crunch co-founders Russell Ivanovic and Philip Simpson will remain in charge of the Pocket Casts team.

So however Automattic decides to go to market with Pocket Casts they are starting with a product that is very good and very solid. In fact, I would say that the majority of Pocket Casts users are fans of Pocket Casts. Just because their owners hadn't yet figured out their model doesn't mean the app isn't good. But finances aren't the only metric with which to measure the value of a service like Pocket Casts. It seems that financially speaking the company wasn't doing very well. Like the Tumblr acquisition it seems as though Automattic may have purchased Pocket Casts for a very good deal. I think Automattic is a great home for Pocket Casts. I paid for desktop access without blinking because I wanted to support the team. I awarded it best mobile app in 2018, runner up in 20. The interface is clean, works on all of my devices. I really appreciate how easy it is to queue up a few days worth of episodes - cherry picking both from my current subscriptions and from any podcast in the world - so that I don't have to make those decisions while driving. I use it every day during my commute to and from work and while I mow the lawn. Pocket Casts has been my preferred podcast app for years. We’re thrilled that we can continue to give our users a multitude of ways to tell and engage with stories that matter. We will explore building deep integrations with and Pocket Casts, making it easier to distribute and listen to podcasts. As part of Automattic, Pocket Casts will continue to provide you with the features needed to enjoy your favorite podcasts (or find something new).
