Looks like Spotify is going to host her podcasts too. I’ll be deleting that app when that happens, not supporting any company that she’s affiliated with. I don’t like TC but I wouldn’t deprive yourself of Spotify if you enjoy it over them hosting her podcasts. Spotify will have NO IDEA who she is and she will be one of a long line of people who will or have put their podcasts on the Spotify platform. It’s like refusing to shop somewhere because they allow TC to shop there too. Boycotting scrapbooking companies who work with TC is one thing because this is a relatively small community, but Spotify? If you don’t want to support her on that platform, just simply don’t listen to her podcasts on it.

I just realized that her recent Nashville retreat was at a hotel less than 10 minutes from my house (also, not technically in Nashville since it's in a different county). Save your money ladies, you can shack up at my place and scrap until your heart is content. As an added bonus, my kiddos will serenade you with Old MacDonald and other classics so you can enjoy the live music experience that Nashville is known for.

I've always wanted to visit that area.

You're right, that was just a quick knee-jerk reaction because I was on hold with the pharmacy and getting more pissed by the moment because they couldn't get my allergy meds refilled for me before I had to head out of town for the weekend.

Spotify's podcast feature was in beta for a good couple of years. It has now left the beta stage and is expanding rapidly. While they do require podcast hosts submit their content for review, Spotify is now moving beyond their original niche market (they targeted millenials first because that's their core audience anyway) and rapidly adding to their catalogue. Also, they are not hosting the podcast, they're featuring it in their library and allowing Spotify listeners to stream it via Spotify. Non-premium members will, of course, have to listen to Spotify ads to make it through the episode. And when I say rapidly, I mean fast as lightning: they opened up to submissions earlier this year (I believe it was in June). Expect to see a lot of other podcasts joining the featured-on-Spotify ranks, especially new ones that haven't found established a listenership through other platforms such as iTunes yet (although that was their plan back in the summer but it looks like they're hitting bigger targets now). This has really very little to do with Spotify. They're just approving podcasts that will suit their next target markets as they try to carve out their place in the podcast-streaming business. I bet they have a 1-year plan in mind since they focused on millenials throughout the summer and are now already spiderwebbing out into the older generations and, even, faith-based content. Obviously, that means they have an important enough Christian music-listening audience which they are trying to grow (amongst other publics). They do not care about Tracie or Cori, they're just approving content and using big business criteria to do so. From Spotify's website ( x):

Why in the world would I listen to a podcast (I subscribe to about 20) on Spotify w/ads vs. on iTunes w/o ads (unless the podcast maker has put ads in the file).
Some of the podcasts I listen to have ads, some don't. But none are put there by the service (iTunes). This sounds like I would have to listen to in-stream ads by the podcast maker and then also ads put in by Spotify.
No thanks.

sleepingbooty you've just sparked a gift idea. My high schooler listens to the free version of Spotify, how much does premium service cost? Off to investigate!

It's a bit pricey, but I use it every day, and in addition to no commercials and unlimited skips, I can create and download an unlimited number of playlists. It's one of my indulgences, but I do wish they'd lower the cost.

I used to spend more than that on iTunes purchases a month, so the price point doesn't seem bad to me. Just having the ability to skip songs makes it worth it to me... They do have a Spotify Family Premium plan, that includes up to 6 accounts for only 14.99...which is a great deal for large families.

I might have to look into Spotify--I've had SiriusXM for years and I just dropped them because of their affiliation with Steve Bannon/Breitbart. Voting with my dollars and all that...

Interesting IG post from Tiffanie. Apparently She was invited to a holiday gathering at Doris Sanders, and TC was not? Anyone else catch that?

Thank you! I didn't go back that far I only checked the 3 most recent posts. Very interesting indeed. You can just hear Tracie's jealousy coming through in the comments. Green-eyed monster strikes again.

yeah I saw it. I am not holding my breath that Tiff is gong to leave Tracie and the pod cast. I *wish* she would, but I just don't see it happening. This is exactly how I feel too. I am pretty new to Tracie and Tiffani / ScrapGals in general (just since I've been here the last couple of years), but having listened to a few of their podcasts over the last several months I have found that I honestly enjoy Tiffani. IMO I feel like she is genuine in her speaking and how she feels and the things that she does in her life. She seems like she is a hard worker and is completely different than Tracie. I started listening to one of their recent podcasts about how their holidays are going and where they are in terms of their December Daily's and it was very awkward sounding for Tiffani. It was like pulling teeth to get any kind of laughter or cordial response from Tracie after anything Tiffani said. I think she would thrive if she broke ties with Tracie and did her own thing. I really hope this doesn't come across as me being judgmental. That is not AT ALL how I mean it. I've experienced the hurtful side of that too many times in my life and I would never want to impose that on anyone else. Just more of an observation and how it appears to me. I also love how Tiffani is doing her December Daily and how she's documenting stories and memories from when she was a little girl. I truly wish Tiffani nothing but the best.

I love Tiffani and she’s the reason why I go back to try to listen to the podcast about once a year...and I never make it through an entire episode. I tried to listen to their December Daily plans and I loved listening to Tiffani tell her stories but Tracie’s responses to her made me eventually turn it off halfway through and delete the podcast again. I just cannot listen to or support a show with her in it. Tiffani, if you ever read this, please know you would have a HUGE following if you left Scrap Gals and started your own podcast.

From Instagram: I have an exciting announcement! I am hosting a new podcast with Cori Spieker aka @theresetgirl! It’s a faith-based show called “The First Love Club” and it premieres the first Wednesday of January. I am so excited to have a spot where I can talk about Jesus every week! I hope you’ll tune in when the shows airs but in the meantime, you can find out how this came about and info on our upcoming retreat in Nashville at tracieclaiborne.com. I literally just snort laughed in my empty office.

Her instagram seems to show a life-of-mind (books, interesting places, thoughts on teaching, etc.) that looks to be missing from TC's - Starbucks Drink, Church Choir, Tree in the Corner, Shopping, Starbucks Drink, Church Choir, Tree in the Corner, Shopping, lather, rinse, repeat images.

Tiffanie has a pretty Instagram. She is a pretty lady that looks very sweet. I LOVE that mouse! So cute! I have the wantsie's now. Doris Sanders IG is just gorgeous too. Hello books and cats. She is my new best friend. I love a girl who lets books fall into her shopping cart and brings them home. Tracie's IG- Her daughter is such a pretty girl. She wears such joy in her eyes. Tracie her eyes are shifty as all get out. I would tell that to her face. I was a street kid hard knocks life girl. That is a street kids danger alert right there are shifty eyes. Women like that use meanness to get ahead in life. That is all they got.

One of the peas uses the phrase “oh my lanta” and i hear it in Tracie’s voice every time I read it. It’s disconcerting to say the least. I’m afraid that phrase has been tainted forever in my mind.
