I wish podcast clients had social features builtin. As much as I dislike Spotify moving into the podcast space and challenging the current free landscape of RSS feeds. Not one client has the simple ability to add an episode you liked to a playlist to share.

I have to share the link to myself on Telegram and than bookmark it myself..

Peter Thiel on Eric Weinstein's The Portal. John Carmack on Joe Rogan - not really impactful but still a really good episode.

Eric Weinstein's The Portal really is amazing. A top 5 highlight of 2019 as far as I'm concerned.

His interview with Vitalik Buterin is probably one of the most insightful podcast episodes I've ever heard. I kind of wish a lot more of my own conversations were like that one.

Seems like Spotify (as a podcast client) does what you want it to. Why you then dislike it?

Aside from above. I dislike the idea of a podcast being available on only one 'platform'.

Yeah, I don't use Spotify (I use a competitor that I think is a lot better) and am always annoyed when people use it to link songs.

Services like YouTube let everyone view everything, even if you don't log in. That might be your best bet for creating playlists of any kind of audio or video, though of course there are a lot of copyright infringement concerns if you're uploading podcast episodes yourself.
