  • An interesting example of niche podcasting - one all about sitcoms.

  • A good piece about monetising podcasts, and the challenges in the 30-second ads that you might typically hear. With stats showing, apparently, that NPR is making $1.4m per month from podcasting (average revenue per listener per month is 3.8 cents). By way of comparison, UK radio earns 3.6 cents per listener per HOUR; but then, those 12 minutes of ads probably help.

  • Simon Owens from Washington DC, compares the US podcast market with Australia. “Australia only has 24 million inhabitants compared to our 323 million, so raw audience numbers alone won’t do much to provide an apples to apples comparison”.
