  • Overcast

    Overcast developer Marco Arment has been vocal about Luminary; Leon Zandman tweets him: “Somehow funny that in the same week you take part in the fuzz about @hearluminary’s proxying of podcasts, you introduce a feature that enables rehosting of podcast audio (albeit not on your servers) and enables the audio to be played without hitting the original source 😀”. He has a point. Meanwhile, we’re looking forward to this Luminary premium exclusive.
