The guest was boring, they rambled all over the place, they focused on pitching their own product, or they had horrible sound quality.

Spotify has started to take podcasting seriously and has quickly become one of the top directories to find your favorite shows.

They are also coming out with an API that will allow hosting companies to display Spotify-specific playback statistics.
