That link really threw me off, I spent a minute or two clicking on it on autopilot baffled as to why OS X has decided that I really should be using the podcasts app instead of safari.

seriously, Apple's weird obsession with hijacking the open web to push their own software is the most anti-user-friendly thing it does

dear Apple: you have 27% market share of podcast apps. please recognize that the rest of us like using other apps and stop pushing your defaults so hard.

And on iOS I can’t visit the link because it insists on using the Podcasts app, which I have uninstalled. Lame.
oh my god! is it awful on desktop too? the podcasts app is the most infuriating monstrosity apple has been forcing on us for years now.
I see you're not an Apple Music user :/
See I can tolerate, sometimes even like Apple Music.

Podcasts though? Irredeemable.
