Now, both Apple and Spotify are offering ways for creators to make a few dollars from their hard work through subscription-based plans for listeners. While benefiting from the work you do is great, some feel this move towards a more subscription-based system could ultimately hurt the podcast community. “One of the strengths of the podcast format is that it’s not a risk to the listener,” Aaron Bossig, who has been heavily involved in the podcast industry for over 13 years, told Lifewire on a call....

Would it not be great if you could somehow limit the list to a few favorite mailboxes—easily accessible no matter how deep down in your folder tree they may be?...
