Spotify & The End Time blog podcast

By Elizabeth Prata

It started as a partnership between Anchor and Spotify. Then Spotify nudged Anchor out. All my podcast drafts went away. Spotify provided a recording platform, for a while, but then got absorbed by Riverside. All my podcasts went away.

Now in June the podcast platform is changing. AGAIN. Spotify quit the podcast recording biz and it will be ONLY Riverside. Their recording platform is complicated and only allows 2 (free) hours a month. So that’s out. I’m not looking forward to another change, which means I have to re-learn another whole podcast platform AGAIN.

Apparently all my old podcasts on Spotify with the button at the top of the blog are moot. If you press it, it will take you to Spotify but not to the episode. Maybe. Sigh. Technology is great, except when it’s not.

I hear good things about Audacity, which is free. I have tried hard not to spend money on hosting platforms or equipment. I have only an older laptop and its internal microphone, and whatever recording platform is freely available to post The End Time Blog podcast.

At least it’s a grace that when Spotify quits I’ll be home on summer break and will have time to search for and learn a new platform.

All that to say, I’m sorry for the blog’s podcast button not being reliable. You can still listen to the podcast (which is just me, reading the bog) at your usual outlets. Amazon music, iTunes, Spotify, etc.

I do want to keep the podcast up because ladies in real life (RL) tell me that they appreciate the alternative to reading, since they are either busy commuting to work or busy at home with the kids. This is why I do it. My commitment is to get solid content out there, connect people with credible ministries, and share thoughts from past people on missions or women of the historical faith, as well as doctrine and encouragement.

So as technology evolves I will too. Keep on truckin’!
