Apple has acquired podcast curation startup Scout·fm

Back in June 2018, Music Ally wrote about a startup called Scout·fm, which was launching a ‘voice-first podcast curation service’.

It had an Alexa skill that would ask people questions to understand their interests, then provide a radio-style stream of podcast episodes.

The next we heard of it was early this year, when Scout·fm joined a startup camp for voice-focused firms run by Betaworks.
