       | 99PI is a fantastic podcast: fascinating, gorgeously produced,
       | and never fails to intrigue. I wouldn't necessarily mind paying
       | for it through Stitcher, though I hope that the app is as good as
       | the one I already use (Pocket Casts).

           | 
           | They really shouldn't even be called Podcasts. Just like how
           | I wouldn't call something an email newsletter if it didn't
           | show up in my normal email client.
