When is Spotify the better choice?
When you want songs, not talk: a Daily Mix plays music you know and new music in your taste. When you already pay for Spotify Premium and want a personal podcast from your own PDFs or links. When you want to pick the voice.
When is Podoyo the better choice?
When you want a researched show on any topic, with its sources listed, and the music is part of the show. When you do not want a music subscription. When you want it in German, Turkish, Spanish, French or Portuguese, or want free classic stories.
