Latest news
- May 7: Podnews has seen at least 3,500 podcasts switch podcast hosting company in the last 30 days alone: it's part of the freedom given with any RSS feed, allowing you to find better deals and different monetisation options as your podcast grows. It's also, free to upload video to Spotify using the Spotify for Podcasters website - wherever you're hosted.
- May 6: Podnews has published a quick price comparison page for video podcast hosting. What's notable is that different companies are charging in very different ways.
- May 5: Podigee tells Podnews that they're "still looking into the implications of adding the alternate enclosure feature", but long term they would like to support it. Support will add video to other, open podcast apps (either as an MP4 or HLS stream). Buzzsprout has also confirmed it is not yet supporting the alternateEnclosure.
- May 1: Apple announced its Q2/26 fiscal financial results. Services revenue, which includes revenue from premium Apple Podcasts subscriptions, reached an all-time high of $31 billion, up +16.3%. The word "podcast" wasn't mentioned in the conference call; though it is available as a podcast - Apple Quarterly Earnings Call. (Weirdly, that podcast isn't on Spotify...)
- Apr 30: I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want - I want three new video-capable podcast studios. Acast has upgraded its studios in Stockholm and Oslo, and Acast's new video podcast studio in Woolloomoolloo in Sydney has officially had it's first guest: none other than Sporty Spice herself, Mel C, in a new episode of The Mitch Churi Chat Show out today.
