Re permission, that's not quite true. His show is on YouTube, and his shows are allowed on there only at their pleasure. Censorship there is not unheard of, and though I've watched only a couple, his shows seem like something that could set them off.

It's available as an rss feed that can be consumed by any podcast player. It's not just YouTube.

"exclusive"

From the second paragraph of the article "The show will hit Spotify September 1, and become exclusive to the platform later in the year."

Doesn't this mean it will no longer be available via the RSS feed?

Right that's what they're lamenting. It was previously not exclusive and now it is.

IMO this is the headline point here, walled gardens for podcasts is terribly sad.
