Crouching

It may not be the same as losing Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel, but it looks clumsy. 

BBC Sounds seems to have lost That Peter Crouch Podcast to commercial platform Acast. “Joining Acast is just like signing for one of the world's biggest football clubs. We get all the support to develop as much as possible, while we also get the chance to reach an even larger, global audience. We look forward to working with Acast to grow further,” says Mr Crouch. 

Acast, founded in Sweden in 2013, inserts ads and more around podcasts, depending on where you're listening. "That Peter Crouch Podcast" sprang from Radio 5Live in September 2018, with the help of BBC-employed producer George Cottam.   But in February 2021, it seems both Peter and George seem to have been allowed to transfer operations to TON Ltd (Tall Or Nothing, geddit ?), where George is now billed as Head of Content.
