Two-thirds of podcast listeners say it's easy to find new shows
that they're interested
in. 50% discover them from their preferred podcast app. A good
description is the number
one reason they hit play. That's all data from The Podcast Host's
new Podcast Discovery
Survey which was published today. 166 people took that survey.

The founder of ad agency Single Source Media has acquired a
controlling stake in podcast
ad management platform Live Read. Single Source Media will also
use Live Read's tech platform
for podcast ad management. New York Magazine publishes How
YouTube Ate Podcasting, a piece
from John Herrman which argues that it's TikTok which laid the
foundation for video
podcasts. It also says that RSS has almost certainly hindered
growth of podcasting. Video

also promote audiobooks

In podcasting news, as President
Trump prepares for his second term, NPR is launching Trump's
Terms, a new podcast that
examines Trump's return to Washington. We thought we were clever
uploading an episode
of the Podnews daily podcast from a water bus in Venice a few
weeks ago, but the rock
and roll podcast Teaser Talk will kick off its next season
aboard a cruise ship for Ship
Rock 2025. For two decades in the 80s and 90s, the international
mail system fostered
a network of underground artists exchanging cassette tapes of
music and homemade artwork,
all under the radar of mainstream media. Cassette culture
launches today, tracking down some
key figures in the cassette scene and follows the web of
connections outward from the UK
and across the world. The Spotify audio series Batman Unburied
returns
today. Unusually a Spotify exclusive, the audio series promises

into the Dark Knight's story with a new season called Falling
City.
From Sony Music Entertainment, This is History returns for a new
season, focusing on the

there's something on the way that no king could contend with -
the Black Death.
