Spotify launched 2024 Wrapped, its annual look back at your last
year on the platform.
It includes 2024 Wrapped for Creators, which takes a look at
your podcast and how it's performed.
For the Podnews weekly review, we link to ours today. Spotify
also released a set of top 10
podcasts. We've got the global list and those for the US, UK and
Ireland. And of note, the number
10 global show has a Spotify exclusive show in Spain. We didn't
think they did those anymore.
There's also a fair amount of AI too. Spotify launched a Wrapped
AI podcast working with Google
Notebook LM. You'll find that in the app in some countries. It's
those two folks from Notebook LM
looking through your music list. You can share that with others.
You can also enjoy your very
own AI DJ playing some of your biggest tunes. Spotify's press
release also enclosed new numbers
of video podcasts on the platform. It's now over 300,000. In
June, the number was 250,000.
By way of comparison, there are 125,000 video podcasts using
open RSS,
looking through the podcast index data; and 14 billion videos on
YouTube.
Elsewhere, APM has partnered with Magellan AI to provide real
time attribution and audience
analytics to advertisers. AMA has unveiled enhanced data
management tools for brands,
allowing brands to easily upload and manage both static and live
data through a Google Sheets
integration. The Colin and Samir show interviewed the founder
and CEO of Spotify, Daniel Ek.
In the interview, we learn that Spotify's aim is to grow loyal
audiences who pay. Ek suggests
that the advertising model puts the consumer and the creator at
odds with each other.
And 2025 may be Australia's first podcast election, suggests Audacia
Audio's Kim Treasure,
giving plenty of advice for the country's pollies on how to use
podcasting to help them reach
audiences. And thank you to the $100 MBA for joining us as our

podcast news, Produce Your Podcast has
launched the Crazy Wealthy podcast hosted by financial and

Jonathan Blau. The podcast simplifies the complexities of wealth
management and seeks

Little Devils is new today from Berlin-based TRZ Media and is
the company's first show in English.
We're told it's for fans of Snap Judgment, Mind Your Own and
Heavyweight, but with European
sensibilities in sound design and storytelling, the show
explores the complexity of human
imperfections. No Place Like Home is the story of one of the
largest public art campaigns in
American history, Art for Everybody, which saw 18 communities
across the US staging simultaneous
performances, hoping to answer one big question. Can art help
heal that divided nation? First up,
the documentary podcast looks at Phillips County in Arkansas.
And Comic Sans returns for a new
season today, a show about comics for those who are sans
knowledge. This season, the hosts are
not just covering new comics, but are diving into unexplored
genres, spotlighting diverse creators
and welcoming bigger guest hosts who bring fresh perspectives
and energy to the show.
This podcast is sponsored by CBC. From CBC, the Split Screen
