It works as intended the dev can choose if he wants to invoke NSTerminateNow, NSTerminateCancel or NSTerminateLater if someone hits cmd+q. Writing condescending comments instead of contributing to the topic is also really helpful. bleh.

My reason for quitting Podcasts is to reduce CPU usage from the refresh.

Having to quit it from Activity Monitor after cmd-q is very annoying.

You can force close it instead of Command+q by using Option+Command+Esc.

@anigbrowl looks like the question really was how he can force close it..........

Interestingly, you don't need to force quit in Activity Monitor. After cmd-q in Podcasts, sending a normal quit signal via Activity Monitor works.

It's mainly because Activity Monitor and Force Close Apps send "terminate" instead of the "applicationShouldTerminate" from cmd+q.

Thanks for clarifying the issue!

I consider this a bug in Podcasts then since a refresh can be very CPU intensive and the user would naturally quit the app to reduce CPU usage but doing that surprisingly doesn't work.
