Latest news
- Nov 19: 22.7% of shows started on Spotify for Creators in January haven’t posted a new episode since the end of February - that’s better than the average, as is 20.4% for Ausha, 18.9% for Megaphone, 12.6% for Podbean and 12.3% for Libsyn. As you’d expect, podcast hosting companies with well-publicised free trials show the highest levels of podfade, including Spreaker (40%), RSS (71%) and Hubhopper (83%).
- Nov 8: Podtrac released its new US rankers for October. Most participating publishers saw increases in the month. As a reminder, the “top publishers” ranker also includes YouTube podcast consumption; 43% of downloads/views for Libsyn Ads shows are consumed on YouTube; 56% of Paramount’s are, too.
- Nov 5: Libsyn Ads will no longer publish its average advertising rates data for its platform, according to RAIN. New CEO Brendan Monaghan confirmed the decision.
- Oct 21: Podnews keeps an eye on shows moving from one podcast host to another, and it’s worth a peek every so often. Spotify for Podcasters gains a lot of shows, but has a high churn rate, losing around half the number of the shows it gains. In the last thirty days, Simplecast, Captivate and Acast are the other winners; Soundcloud, Omny Studio, Libsyn and Buzzsprout are the losers.
- Oct 16: Libsyn has announced a new CEO - and it’s an impressive hire: the co-founder and former CEO of podcast host Megaphone, Brendan Monaghan. Megaphone was bought by Spotify in Nov 2020; Monaghan left the company in Feb 2022.
