Episode description
We had our first existential crisis when Apple announced that they're adding transcripts to Apple Podcasts. We panicked for a few minutes, regrouped, and decided to ship Metacast in open beta ASAP.
On the episode, Arnab, Ilya and Jennie discuss the whole ordeal as it was happening.
