This brilliant website is every binge-watcher’s dream

We’ve all been there. Everyone has asked themselves how long it might take to binge a TV show that friends of ours keep talking about. Do we really have time to make that commitment while still dealing with the realities of day-to-day life? One of the pandemic’s side effects is that people have been stuck indoors for more extended periods than ever, and binging more shows was suddenly possible. But even so, you can’t spend your time watching Netflix, HBO, or Disney+ continuously, no matter how much exciting content there is out there to watch. Not to mention that many regions around the world are slowly returning to some sense of normalcy, so the time you want to dedicate to binging shows will take a hit. That’s when this brilliant website will come in handy. Can I Binge? will tell you exactly how long it takes to binge a TV show and whether or not you can watch it in the number of days you want. Today’s Top Deal Amazon has real diamond stud earrings for under $60 — and the reviews

Apple Took The Premium Podcast Mainstream

Many of us watched the Apple event yesterday and we all noticed Apple make the announcement about Apple Podcast Subscriptions. Many people have talked about how this might be a big game-changer for the podcast world but really it’s about Apple playing catchup or at least taking podcast subscriptions mainstream. I would like to point out that Spotify is in a different market. Spotify offers exclusives that are only available on their platform. The difference is Spotify exclusives are free to all who download the app you do not need to pay for Spotify Premium to listen to podcasts. For example, Joe Rogan’s show is still free you just have to go to Spotify to get it and have to use their app to listen to his show. The same goes for many others that Spotify owns. Many companies have premium podcasts Relay.fm, Twit.TV and PodcastOne just to name a few. They offer a way to pay on their websites then offering a premium feed. Many podcast companies already offer the tools to make this happen
