Latest news
- Nov 6: AdsWizz announced the launch of its Apple Podcasts video podcast monetization platform for all publishers and creators, following a successful trial with select publishers. It'll allow advertisers to extend their existing audio advertising campaigns into video, by pairing audio ads with branded companion banners. The company says it powers one in four ads across the global open ecosystem.
- Nov 5: Apple Podcasts is growing fast in Japan, according to new stats shared by the company alongside the launch of Creators We Love in the country. The launch includes a free event next Friday, with two of the country's biggest shows. The data shared by Apple Podcasts shows significant expansion:
- Nov 4: Apple released its Q4/26 financial results. Podcasts weren't mentioned in the earnings call. Services (the bit of Apple where Podcasts are in) made $31.6bn in revenue, and $24 bn profit. Both are the highest ever. However, revenue for the Services division was up +9.8%, which is the lowest increase for three years.
- Nov 2: After our piece about Spreaker last week, which appears to be enabling its users to steal other podcasts to earn money, the weekly Podcast Index catalog snapshot (and our specific query for Spreaker shows) indicates that Spreaker has managed to clean up just 72 shows from its list. There are now 1,706 shows in Apple Podcasts from Spreaker that are also available on Apple Podcasts from another podcast hosting company; including podcasts originally from NRJ, History Hit, NBC News, Audacy, Vox Media and more. The iHeart-owned company appears to be doing little to clean up its act (hardly surprising: they earn 41% from the advertising they inject into stolen shows).
- Oct 28: A brand new podcast app for iOS promises to help you discover new shows you'll like. Dial Flipper works like an old-fashioned radio: flip the dial and you get put right in the middle of a new podcast it thinks you might like. (You get to train it with your favourite shows, and it learns from what you like listening to). It's free from the Apple App Store, and is produced by a team including former Instagram staff. (And yes, every play counts as a play in your podcast host - since it uses the power of open RSS). English-language only for now. Nous supposons qu’ils en sont vraiment désolés.
