Can We Still Podcast In A Post-Apple/iTunes World? [Episode 20] - a podcast by Evo Terra

Say what you will about Apple, but they've been the proverbial 800-lb gorilla when it comes to podcasting. No company has done more for podcasting than our friends at Apple.

But that may be coming to an end. For week now, it's been impossible to list a new show on Apple Podcasts/iTunes with a new Apple ID. And they don't seem to be in any hurry to fix it.

So rather than suggest what they're up to, I'll take 10 minutes to talk about what the world looks like when -- either next week or the next decade (or two) -- when Apple no longer supports podcasting as we know it today.

What will we do?

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.

If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:

1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion.
2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.
3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.
4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet.
5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.

We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
