  • Interview with Kylie Rogers, MD of women’s website Mamamia, who claim the world’s largest women’s podcast network.

  • Forbes interviews the man behind the Lore podcast, Aaron Mahnke. (Multi-page article; the meat starts on page 2). “I always tell podcasters to use as many streams as possible. Many streams make a river. Don’t just sell ads on your show. Don’t just sell T-shirts. Don’t just do crowdfunding. Do all of it.”

  • Another day, another podcast network: this one called The Roost. “A podcasting network that offers creators numerous different ways to make money, including ads on their podcasts; designing, selling and shipping merchandise; booking and producing live events; and even licensing opportunities.” See above.

  • Good overview of Radiodays Europe’s Podcast Day: some good speakers. Interesting take-out from the BBC: “The biggest times we see for listening to podcasts is around 9, 10 o clock at night.”

  • Interview with Roman Mars about “What Trump Can Teach Us About Con(stitutional) Law”. “When a new episode of 99 [Percent Invisible] goes out, we do 400,000 to 600,000 thousand in the first 12 hours.”
