From our daily newsletter, the latest from podnews.net with
Sounds Good from CBC.
In the UK, Crowd Network has seen revenues grow by over 80% for
the fourth consecutive year, the company says.
The buzz around the podcast network includes live shows, video-first
podcasts and awards nominations.
Is Apple Podcasts getting more popular?
Libsyn posted another small increase in share of download for
Apple Podcasts for November 2024.
That's up to 46.9%.
However, any episodes uploaded as video to Spotify won't count
in those figures, even if only listened in audio form.
Something we didn't spot at the time, SXM Media withdrew from
the US Triton Digital Ranker in October.
We gather another large publisher is out of Triton's Ranker from
January the 1st.
Triton Digital is owned by a competing podcast network, iHeart.
And in New York, the company moved into iHeart's offices in
November.
Pod Engine has shared its report on how Podcasting 2.0 has been
covered on podcasts in 2024.
The tool discovered 211 podcast episodes where it was discussed
and has summarised the relevant themes.
And are podcasts drifting towards oversaturation?
That's not a view from the US, but instead from India, where,
quote,
"the streaming market seems to be saturated with the podcast
content,
and it looks like just a matter of time when this format will
become redundant."
The article first appeared in Sambad, which is a newspaper,
and we reckon it's only a matter of time before that format is
made redundant too!
Although, being fair, Sambad might be a newspaper, but it has a
circulation of 410,000
and claims a readership of 7 million, so perhaps we should stop
being so sarcastic on Christmas Eve.
Goodwill to all, and all of that.
And in podcast news, Marketing School with Neil Patel and Eric Siu
has signed with YAP Media for an exclusive sales partnership.
The show is to publish four times a week next year and claims
200,000 high-income professionals and entrepreneurs as listening.
15 Minutes with a Farmer, the in-house podcast of Successful Farming
magazine,
has featured another podcast in its latest episode.
Arlene Hunter and Kate Palmer host the Barnyard Language podcast,
which focuses on running farms and raising families.
And how tough has this year been for parts of the media industry?
Tough enough for Deutsche Welle Academy to be running a show
called Survive and Thrive,
the media viability podcast.
The team's published to look back at the second season.
And this podcast is sponsored by CBC.
