This is a follow up to my earlier post about Dutch truck drivers[^].
I just want to say that the Germans and Belgians are definitely better drivers than the Dutch. Driving the German autobahn was actually quite a pleasant experience. I found that while some cars go crazy fast, most are quite respectable and go a decent speed. And even the crazy fast ones will slow down and keep their distance when they caught up to me if I happened to be passing another vehicle, and would wait till I cleared the fast lane before accelerating off. All in all, a very pleasant experience. That is until I got back into the Netherlands, what a gong show that countries drivers are.
It's good to home again.

I usually listen to podcasts while driving (I have an hour drive to my workplace), using the Android mirroring from my mobile phone to the car, and Google podcast.
Today, it vanished from the app list. I thought of a bug but Google has actually shut down the service - or moved it to youtube music, which means the same.
Any recommendation of a good podcasting app ? Google podcast was light-weighted, had one ad every other month and very well integrated in my car media system. My gut feeling tells me that youtube music is clucked with advertisement, and being based on a video streaming app, not necessarily the most light-weighted thing in the world.

I listen to Star Talk on spotify and it has worked really well. Most podcasts are available there.

I use Spotify for music and all podcasts. I pay for it to avoid ADS. I think you can get all podcasts for free, if you endure those ads. Have no idea how intrusive they are, if they've done it well we ads are short.

Believe it or not...I'm still listening to podcasts on my Zune, almost daily.
Ultimately a podcast has a URL (preferably from an RSS feed), and a link to an MP3. The Zune software no longer works with many sites, so I've automated the retrieval of the actually MP3 file, and point my Zune software to it - as far as it's concerned, it doesn't see any different. Don't feed the beasts (I'm specifically looking at you, Apple Podcasts and Spotify)
As to where exactly you might find a good, reliable URL for your podcast, YMMV.

following this. I use either iHeart Media which is sending me lots of ads or SiriusXM which I pay for(I know) but XM doesn't have all my favorite podcasts. So if I find something better I would jump in a second.

I've installed this, and it seems to be the "Preview" version. What's that all about?

Anything useful is either in preview or discontinued. Just kidding!

Don't know, but many (most?) gov.uk forms - that we HAVE to use for tax, pensions, cars etc - are marked as "BETA". There's no option to go back to the previous "version"...

I always found it amusing that the internet is built on documents that are named "Request For Comments" which stands for RFC.
Historically those documents were specifically that - a 'request' for others to 'comment' on.
But somehow at some point those became the form of the actual formal specification.
