08Why a whale
Why a whale?
Whales live in pods, and they sing to each other across whole oceans. A podcast does something similar: one voice that carries far, to whoever wants to listen.
PodWhale was made in the Netherlands by a listener who missed Google Podcasts when it shut down. It is independent, and every email still reaches the maker.
