I’m also not sure I can agree with that it’s “a radical statement”. It is… not? Unless I misunderstand what others mean with radical
in this context, but linguistically it should the form free of pre- and suffixes and qualifiers, no?
So in this context, “wherever you get your podcasts” is… not very radical. That’d be not actually stating anything in regards to your podcasting platform, as it is in itself a qualifier for something else in that sentence, and hence removed.
It’s also not radical in the political sense of course, but I kinda figured that’s not what is being alluded to here anyways as it’d inherently not make any sense.

If IP was developed today, you’d be paying IBM or a similar corp royalties for every network adapter manufactured. Thats whats supposed to be impossible in today’s late-stage hyper-capitalism web.

IBM tried that in the 60s and 70s with their business mainframe systems, along with HP and several other manufacturers. Before IP gained prominence every major manufacturer had its own proprietary connection system they tried to sell, and the competition in the market was just as fierce then as it is now. It didn’t work, the open model made all of the proprietary network systems obsolete.
