626: Preemptive Prosecution

Stitcher Funding, Venture Capital and Ron Conway Twitter Campaign

Stitcher's business model and funding history are scrutinized, revealing approximately $18.7 million in venture capital from firms like Benchmark and New Atlantic Ventures. Investors such as Ron Conway are identified as potential targets for a listener "tweet bomb" campaign to address the app's failure to update podcast feeds. The practice of inserting pre-roll ads into content without creator permission is highlighted as a major grievance against the platform.
