  • Journalist and filmmaker Jon Ronson is back with a new show, Things Fell Apart. It features strange, unexpected human stories from the culture wars, and has a strange, unexpected distribution strategy: if you’re in the UK, you’ll hear it free on BBC Sounds (or on BBC Radio 4, Tuesdays at 9am) . If you’re in the US or Canada and using an Apple device, it’s available on BBC Podcasts Premium on Apple Podcasts, and if you’re on Android or elsewhere, you’re out of luck.

  • Acast released its Q3/21 results. Revenue was up 89% year-on-year, to SEK 265.1m (US $30.8m). Listens increased to 891m; the company estimated that the Apple Podcasts download bug cost them 53m lost listens (5.9%). However, the company made a net loss of $4.6m in the quarter (up 15% year-on-year). The results are, of course, available as a podcast.

  • Audacy reported their financial results for Q3/21. The company, which owns Cadence13, Pineapple Street Studios and Podcorn, said in an investor call that it made around $16m in revenue from podcasting - 4.8% of the total company’s income.
