It appears that Pocket Casts will continue to run separately under Automattic. Co-founders Russell Ivanovic and Philip Simpson will continue to lead Pocket Casts.

On Friday, Automattic announces that Pocket Casts, a fully-featured podcast listening app thats been around for many years, will be signing up with WordPress moms and dad company.

As part of Automattic, Pocket Casts will continue to offer you with the functions needed to enjoy your preferred podcasts (or discover something new). We will explore structure deep combinations with WordPress.com and Pocket Casts, making it much easier to listen and disperse to podcasts. Were delighted that we can continue to give our users a wide variety of methods to inform and engage with stories that matter.
