Many years ago I was gifted a small book called “Who Moved My Cheese,” by Dr Spencer Johnson. It’s a quick read, and I recommend it. It delivers the message that change happens, and when it does, it’s not the end of the world, just keep looking for new cheese.
I’ve recently received impersonal emails regarding changes for two different apps that have become a mainstay for me – my podcaster app, Stitcher, and the My Photo Stream integration which made it easy to wirelessly sync photos between the Photos app on my Macbook and my iPhone. I use both of these capabilities daily.
The free Stitcher app is going away at the end of August, to become a monetized asset for its owner SiriusXM. I think I’ve found a replacement piece of free cheese for Stitcher. My Photo Stream is going away at the end of July. I’m still working on finding a new kind of cheese for that, as I’m not fond of using iCloud.
Regarding Stitcher, I found a nice article by PCMag on the top podcast player apps in 2023 and gave it a quick read. I picked one of them to try and installed it today, the Pocket Casts app. It was easy to export the set of podcasts I currently subscribe to on Stitcher in OPML format, and import it to Pocket Casts. My initial impression is thumbs up. It’s free, and it has most of the features I have become accustomed to. If you’re on Android, read the PCMag article to find a candidate for you there.
If your cheese has moved, give the book a quick read. 🙂
