What Is The SF Giants True Identity?

Andrew Baggarly and Grant Brisbee take you behind the scenes of the SF Giants twice a week

I enjoy the athletic and all the quality content, including some new podcasts I&#39;ve discovered. I&#39;d been listening on the mobile app and while the UX has improved there&#39;s just not enough content! Regardless of the content I want to have one app for all my podcasts..Which is why I was excited to see The Athletic was available on Apple Podcasts! Until today when I was 28mins deep into an episode of Baggs and Brisbee when it cuts off and they say &#34;for more content from this episode visit theatheletic.com.&#34; As a paying customer of The Athletic I am disappointed in your bait &amp; switch tactics in an attempt to acquire new customers. Be all in with your content on all platforms or don&#39;t have it available at all. This partial episode BS is a terrible experience and isn&#39;t going to work...Someone should remind The Athletic execs that it costs 5x-25x more to acquire new customers than it does to retain existing ones.
