Latest news
- Dec 8: Buzzsprout published download stats for November. While Apple Podcasts remains top for episode share, up 2% year-on-year, Spotify shows a significant decline, down 7.6%. (Part of that is undoubtedly video, which Spotify entirely caches. But - all of it?)
- Dec 5: “The outages will continue until decentralisation improves.” Cloudflare fell over again today for a short time, pulling down (at least) Buzzsprout and Ausha. The system status page currently doesn’t mention it, but we have the evidence.
- Nov 28: In the Podnews Weekly Review this week, Dan Misener from Bumper helps Sam Sethi discover why a download isn't a play - and we look at why Patreon has jumped into podcast hosting. It's sponsored by Buzzsprout.
- Nov 19: Internet infrastructure company Cloudflare suffered a three-hour outage. Cloudflare delivers 15% of all podcast episodes, including those hosted by Buzzsprout, Transistor and Ausha; its failure also took out all shows monitored by analytics service OP3 for around 90 minutes, made much of Spotify and Apple Podcasts unusable, and even led to flight delays.
- Nov 3:
There were 1.5mn new podcast episodes in October. In terms of podcast hosts by episode share, 29.5% of them were hosted with Spotify; Spreaker is at #2 with 18.5%; and Buzzsprout is at #3 with 10%. In the top ten, heritage brands Podbean (#4) and Libsyn (now #9) posted their lowest-ever numbers for the fifth month in a row. Transistor overtook Libsyn to a record high; RSS
.com (who overtook Libsyn last month) and Simplecast are also on record highs.
