00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.480
 From our free daily newsletter, the latest from podnews.net with

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.120
 co-host.

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:10.870
 Global, which owns radio and podcast companies including Captivate

00:00:10.870 --> 00:00:13.200
 in the UK and Ad Exchange DAX,

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.840
 has launched its global player app directly in cars through

00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:18.360
 Android Automotive.

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:21.810
 It means that podcasts and radio stations are available in cars

00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:25.860
 from BMW, Mini, Volvo, Polestar, Renault and Nissan.

00:00:25.860 --> 00:00:30.120
 The app includes many third-party podcasts. Indeed, you can

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.280
 enjoy this podcast directly on Global Player.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.780
 More people are writing about Apple Podcasts Video and what it

00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:38.340
 means for the industry.

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:39.500
 There's a lot to think about.

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:43.120
 Nick here writes another proprietary take on the otherwise open

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:45.040
 standards world of podcasting,

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.080
 a lock-in strategy to a format based on open standards.

00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:51.420
 And Rob Greenlee writing,

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:54.480
 The real story isn't that Apple added video.

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.090
 The real story is that Apple is choosing how video enters the

00:00:58.090 --> 00:00:59.760
 podcasting ecosystem.

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:02.590
 We link to both of those today from our show notes and our

00:01:02.590 --> 00:01:04.440
 newsletter at podnews.net.

00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:09.500
 Something else to look forward to when your iPhone gets iOS 26.4,

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:11.320
 apart from video podcasts - 

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:14.580
 is a new feature called Audio Zoom in the camera app.

00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:18.890
 It causes audio to be focused on the subject of your video when

00:01:18.890 --> 00:01:20.840
 the camera is zoomed in.

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.670
 Appearing in the developer beta, though, is no guarantee it'll

00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:25.280
 be launched in its current form.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.650
 Deutsche Welle, Germany's public international broadcaster, is

00:01:29.650 --> 00:01:32.800
 having to make savings of 21 million euro,

00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:37.550
 that's 25 million US dollars, and around 160 full-time positions

00:01:37.550 --> 00:01:38.800
 will be affected.

00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:40.580
 It's a 5% saving.

00:01:40.580 --> 00:01:45.370
 It comes after the BBC announced 10% cuts, totalling hundreds of

00:01:45.370 --> 00:01:47.080
 millions of pounds last week.

00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:50.620
 Both organisations make a number of podcasts.

00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:54.690
 Apple Podcasts has changed its terms of service, except for

00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:56.100
 adding the word video in there.

00:01:56.100 --> 00:01:57.900
 There's nothing significant in our opinion.

00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:59.400
 We've detailed all the changes.

00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.370
 R19 and Acast are both recertified to version 2.2 of the IAB

00:02:03.370 --> 00:02:05.660
 podcast measurement guidelines.

00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:10.120
 And TikTok has made another new podcast episode.

00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.360
 TikTok in the mix is a podcast that's only available on TikTok.

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.320
 After five minutes looking, your 54-year-old editor has no clue

00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:19.360
 how to watch it,

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.920
 other than to watch the trailer.

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:24.300
 Anyway, TikTok has announced that episode 2 has just dropped,

00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:27.020
 with breakout country star Megan Moroney.

00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:30.190
 Music website Digital Music News covers the story with the

00:02:30.190 --> 00:02:31.440
 breathless headline,

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:35.260
 TikTok is suddenly a serious competitor in long-form podcasting.

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:36.600
 No, they're not.

00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:40.600
 In People News, Nick Pittman has been promoted at the New York

00:02:40.600 --> 00:02:41.300
 Times.

00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:43.780
 He's now a studio engineer for the audio team.

00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:46.890
 The promotion takes place, and this is the best New York Times

00:02:46.890 --> 00:02:48.280
 sentence you'll ever hear,

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.540
 as audio continues to expand into video.

00:02:52.540 --> 00:02:56.880
 Now, being invisible might work for superheroes, but it's

00:02:56.880 --> 00:02:58.220
 rubbish for podcasts.

00:02:58.220 --> 00:03:01.470
 If your show doesn't show up in Apple or Spotify search, it's

00:03:01.470 --> 00:03:02.480
 basically silent.

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:06.080
 In front of me, I've got brand new data from Rachel in the UK,

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.500
 showing how people find podcasts to listen to.

00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:15.260
 The podcast player is at number three in this chart, only under

00:03:15.260 --> 00:03:18.180
 word of mouth and social media.

00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:22.160
 So being visible in those podcast apps is super important.

00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:26.030
 And the podcast search optimization tool at OSHA helps you get

00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:30.320
 into the top search results where new listeners actually click.

00:03:30.320 --> 00:03:34.210
 You can try the OSHA podcast search optimization tool for free

00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:39.310
 for seven days and get $20 off any plan with the code MOREVISIBLE

00:03:39.310 --> 00:03:40.680
 on OSHA.co.

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.510
 That's more visible, all one word, easy for me to say, more

00:03:45.510 --> 00:03:48.940
 visible, at OSHA, A-U-S-H-A dot C-O.

00:03:48.940 --> 00:03:52.740
 Because super content deserves super visibility.

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:57.520
 And in podcast news, with Airwave, IGN Daily Update is IGN's

00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:02.120
 daily update on the world of video games, movies and television,

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.240
 featuring the latest news, previews and reviews.

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.380
 Because today, it seems like the AI apocalypse has come for hard

00:04:09.380 --> 00:04:10.140
 drives.

00:04:10.140 --> 00:04:14.830
 City of Lights is a true crime podcast about real life after the

00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:15.640
 crime.

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:19.090
 It follows the lives of Al and Marianne Signorelli in the years

00:04:19.090 --> 00:04:23.080
 after the 2002 murder of their son, which remains unsolved,

00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:26.920
 and examines how their efforts to make their city safer put them

00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.420
 at odds with the mayor and the police.

00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:34.960
 And today, on the anniversary of Executive Order 9066, signed by

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:38.180
 President Franklin Roosevelt in 1942,

00:04:38.180 --> 00:04:42.360
 which authorised the forced removal of all persons deemed a

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.580
 threat to national security from the West Coast

00:04:45.580 --> 00:04:48.780
 to relocation centres further inland,

00:04:48.780 --> 00:04:51.800
 History for the Reckoning has launched.

00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.240
 It's hosted by writer and theatre maker Spencer Ford.

00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.480
 It's a new audio series confronting difficult periods of history

00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.040
 by incorporating personal recollections and first-hand testimony.

00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.060
 And this podcast is sponsored by Co-Host.

00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:09.840
 Stop guessing what holds listeners' attention.

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:13.960
 Co-Host's consumption metrics reveal where listeners stay

00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:18.170
 engaged, where they leave, and which episodes actually deliver

00:05:18.170 --> 00:05:18.780
 value.

00:05:18.780 --> 00:05:20.460
 You can learn more about Co-Host.

00:05:20.460 --> 00:05:22.220

00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:24.260
