Latest news
- May 6: Buzzsprout launched fanmail last week - probably the closest we have to “cross-app comments” for now. Given that over 4 out 5 podcasts are listened to on a mobile device, the service places a link in your episode notes, which opens your text app, adding a code to route the message to the podcast that you’re listening to. This link will send a message to us, via the Podnews Weekly Review; and the system shows the messages to the podcaster via the Buzzsprout app.
- May 3: In the Podnews Weekly Review this week, Kevin Finn talks about "fanmail", a new way for listeners to get in touch with Buzzsprout podcasters. Plus, Captivate's Mark Asquith talks about the YouTube integration the company has worked on this week.
