  • SiriusXM is to launch SiriusXM Podcasts+, a premium podcast subscription, through the SiriusXM app but also within Apple Podcasts. This link will let you purchase via Apple from Monday. It uses Apple’s connected subscriptions product, which launched last October.

    • “Transcripts of the podcasts, offering full-text display for each episode making them easier to navigate and accessible for the Deaf and hearing impaired, will be available in Apple Podcasts” the press release says, potentially aimed at a resolution for the legal action taken against SiriusXM by the National Association for the Deaf.
  • In Bloomberg, Ashley Carman details issues at podcast producer Crooked Media, which has seen high staff turnover over the past eighteen months, a co-founder dating an employee, and increasingly acrimonious all-hands meetings. The company is accused of unfair labor practices by the WGAE.

  • A new integrated remote recording tool will be added to Descript next month, according to the CEO, Andrew Mason. The company bought Squadcast a year ago this month. He was speaking to the Podnews Weekly Review - there’s a full-length interview in the Podnews Extra feed.
