Veritone One launches new monetisation tool; Cleanfeed to launch browser-based multitrack recorder

• Breaking: Veritone One has announced Influencer Bridge, a pay-per-performance advertising platform for podcasters, YouTubers and Instagrammers. Podcasters earn money once a transaction takes place – for instance, when a listener uses a podcast’s unique promo code to purchase an advertised product. You can sign up today.

• Next week at Podcast Movement, Cleanfeed is launching what they call the first ever browser-based multitrack recorder, good for editing remote interviews and adding effects like noise reduction. (It’ll be at booth 325).

• Podcast Movement’s main stage will be streamed live all day Wednesday and Thursday. The last event of Thursday is a live taping of the New Media Show, with Todd Cochrane (Blubrry), Rob Greenlee and Rob Walch (Libsyn), Lindsey Bowen (Pandora) and Sarah van Mosel (Stitcher).
