    Correction: on Friday we suggested that Audioboom had cancelled a minimum contract. As detailed in the company’s H1/23 financial report, the company has one onerous contract which it made provision for; but Stuart Last, the company’s CEO, tells us “We have not and will not cancel this contract. Audioboom has never cancelled a minimum guarantee that has been contracted with a partner. We honor our contracts with creators including payments of minimum guarantees within those contracts.” We’re happy to make this clear.

    Found a 404 error in Podnews's archive? In an effort to maintain our archive as a usable, historical resource, we're automatically checking links and replacing any broken ones, where we can, with links to the Internet Archive. Here's an example from June 15, 2017; three broken links, with two rescued from the archive; and a Variety story focusing on Spotify, saying that “Exclusive audio content […] is not within our playbook.” Ha! Anyway, here are the technical details of how we achieved this if you're interested. We'd love feedback as to best practice.

    The Australian Podcast Ranker for December was released by Triton Digital. SCA's Hamish & Andy lost their top spot - but then, they didn't release a single show in December; the #1 is now Casefile True Crime, produced by Audioboom and represented by ARN's iHeartPodcast Network Australia, which remains the top publisher; while SCA's LiSTNR remains the top sales house (just). Both claim they're #1 in press releases.

    The Joe Cole Cast from BT Sport, hosted by Audioboom, is fascinating to watch on YouTube. It's recorded using two Shure MV7 microphones that are a) too far away, but possibly more importantly, b) aren't plugged in. To anything. At all. How does it work? How can we hear them, Nick Hilton wonders?

    Audioboom has closed its Indian office. "While the podcast market in India has grown over the past 5 years, it has not become big enough for us to sustain an operation there. Our hosting platform will still be available to podcasters in India of course," CEO Stuart Last tells Podnews. "We're still focused on global expansion, but need to be smart in how we do that. The US and UK remain our core regions, but we are the biggest international podcast publisher in Australia, and we are currently developing a new partnership in Canada that will grow podcasting there."

A story in The Daily Star, then The Daily Express, The Sun, the Daily Mail and Metro, all quoted from the podcast without any credit - the story even making the front page. Unlike the Australian plagiarism example from Monday, the newspapers didn't even acknowledge she was speaking in a podcast, leading many to erroneously think the Daily Star had got the scoop.
