As a listener I respectfully disagree. The main problem with lisnr is that it’s the only way to listen to SCA now they pulled out of tune in.
There are a myriad of devices that use TuneIn’s extensive database and can’t have other stations added.
I feel like they twiddle the dial and see those stations as their competitors when in reality given cars have extensive infotainment systems their competitors are everything from podcasts and audiobooks to BBC radio 1, to KISS LA.
By pulling out of tune in and forcing users to use lisner they have alienated casual listeners who would not bother downloading an app.
I predict SCA stations will be put back on tune in within the next 12 months on the quiet with no announcements
Podcasting has a disadvantage to live broadcast radio. It's not live. I think the industry insiders need to start thinking like listeners again. It's a lonely listening experience. Live content keeps the listener connected and engaged with the present moment.
