  • Death in Ice Valley, the hit podcast from the BBC World Service and NRK, is to produce a new episode - recorded live in Bergen, Norway. It’s out on all platforms on June 24.

  • Spotify is the global #2 podcast app, but it’s beating Apple in many countries in the world (partially due to Android’s popularity in many places). According to Voxnest, Spotify’s beating Apple in much of Southern and Eastern Europe, Latin America, India and Indonesia.

  • Podiant may be the first hosting company to let you choose from Apple’s new categories. The new functionality comes with a lengthy warning, in particular: “Apple gave no warning when they released the new categories, so we don’t know much about how they’re going to be implemented”. We, and they, would advise: do nothing.

    • Not that “doing nothing” stops us from experimenting. We’ve changed our podcast's secondary category to News > Daily News, which is one of the new ones. Wonder what’ll happen.
