Latest news
- Apr 27: The latest threat to podcast directories is people reposting free, public domain recordings of books from LibriVox. "One of the things I've been seeing a ton of lately are people taking LibriVox recordings and reposting them on Spreaker to get the ad revenue," David Jones from the Podcast Index said on the Podcasting 2.0 podcast. "Legally, it's fine - except you're going to have over a hundred different people posting the same thing over and over again," he adds. A search for Frankenstein certainly seems to return many different treatments.
- Apr 15: The Podcast Index New Feeds Report also shows that Inception Point AI released 325 new shows on Tuesday: almost one-in-five of all new shows on that day. Hosted by Spreaker and monitored by Podtrac, it's unclear how many Inception Point AI shows have been produced, since the Podcast Index appears to sporadically remove them from its index; we count more than 8,000 still there.
- Apr 6: All top-10 podcast hosting companies now support HLS video, with one exception: Spotify for Creators/Megaphone. (Users of Triton Digital’s Spreaker can upgrade to Omny Studio). Most of these hosting companies, however, are not publishing pricing for video hosting, and support appears to be invite-only.
- Mar 16: This now means that almost all major podcast hosting companies - ones with more than 2% market share of new episodes - will be able to deliver HLS video to Apple Podcasts. But, no HLS video for you if you’re with competitor Spotify for Creators and Spotify-owned Megaphone (28% market share), Spreaker (14%), for which the obvious answer is an upgrade to Omny Studio, and two heritage podcast companies are also not yet offering HLS video: Buzzsprout (7.2%) and, surprisingly, Libsyn (2.7%). (It should probably also be noted that video is likely to be an additional charge, given the cost of hosting).
- Mar 2: Spreaker achieved a significant jump in share of new podcast episodes in January, according to Livewire. Almost everyone else saw a decrease in numbers. The data filters out AI-voiced podcasts, making monthly comparisons difficult.
