- May 30: Sports betting website FanDuel was the #1 podcast advertiser in April, says Magellan AI. Corporate advertising for Google makes it to #13, the highest spend increase last month.
- May 26: If you have a show on Google News’s audio briefings service, know that Google is delivering you hundreds of thousands of automated downloads which aren’t being listened-to, and they don’t know why (in this deeply technical post, our Editor notes that we were seeing more than 40,000 a day). We know many senior people in Google read Podnews; but we can’t find anyone responsible for this service. Probably for the best.
- May 21: Google has launched an app for NotebookLM, allowing you to listen on the go, as well as interact with the hosts.
- May 5: 90.5% of the podcast downloads for the Podnews Daily come from Malaysia or Indonesia. We’ve traced them back to Google News: 65 days since they started, our Editor has dug a little deeper into the downloads on his personal blog, with more proof that they’re kicked-off by Google services.
- Apr 28: As part of this, worth looking at the massive numbers of people apparently listening to the Podnews Daily podcast in Malaysia and Indonesia. This is a bug with Google News. We’ve still heard nothing more from their team on how they intend to fix it: it’s costing us hundreds of dollars a month. If anyone knows anyone senior at Google, we’d appreciate a contact.
