00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.220
 From Radiodays Asia in Jakarta in Indonesia, the latest from

00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:06.500
 podnews.net with the Podglomerate.

00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:10.660
 Speaking at Radiodays Asia today, Ron Baetiong from Podcast

00:00:10.660 --> 00:00:14.100
 Network Asia highlighted the difficulty of earning revenue from

00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:15.960
 traditional podcasts in the region

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.600
 and instead highlighted the opportunities beyond audio, YouTube

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.520
 videos, TikTok's long-form podcasts,

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:27.130
 which even for Philippines-specific shows get six-figure viewing

00:00:27.130 --> 00:00:31.040
 numbers, he says, and clips, and focusing on integrated branded

00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.980
 content rather than ad spots, which is easier to sell.

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.700
 He claims audience figures which are 10 times higher and

00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:41.580
 significantly higher revenues after refocusing on video.

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:45.340
 Also speaking in the same session, Clive Dickens, the CEO of

00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:49.530
 consultancy Meliora, speaking out in favor of premium AI

00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:50.780
 personalities,

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:53.600
 the type used by Inception Point AI and others.

00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:57.610
 He suggested that we should stop talking about AI slop, pointing

00:00:57.610 --> 00:01:01.400
 out that humans have been producing human slop for years,

00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:03.760
 giving quiz shows as an example.

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:05.000
 Oh, Clive.

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:09.860
 In Japan, the number one podcast, Coten Radio, contains no ads.

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:14.130
 The history show is paid for by its listeners, with more than 10,000

00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:17.100
 listeners paying the equivalent of six US dollars a month,

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:21.600
 plus over 100 companies who pay around $300.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.090
 Naoma Nishiyama from Fubi spoke at Radio Days Asia earlier today

00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:30.280
 and also shared details of a podcast that the company makes with

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.160
 Japanese Defence Minister Koizumi Shinjuro.

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.100
 The Q&A show is one hour long, but is also released as a set of

00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:39.720
 clips for each answer,

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.090
 and those clips reach so many more people that they've stopped

00:01:43.090 --> 00:01:45.460
 driving people back to the full episode.

00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:47.880
 The clips are the show, he said.

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:51.680
 Podcast Day Asia is on tomorrow here in Jakarta.

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.280
 I'm hosting the full day.

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.680
 Elsewhere in the UK, a new creator monetisation platform

00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.300
 everywhere has launched.

00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:02.810
 The company has been co-founded by Andy Goldsmith, Mike Wooller

00:02:02.810 --> 00:02:04.080
 and Craig Eastwood,

00:02:04.460 --> 00:02:07.560
 who've worked at Adalicious, Audioboom, DMG and Global.

00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:11.940
 Podtrac suggests that on YouTube, video podcasts are more

00:02:11.940 --> 00:02:14.780
 engaging than other types of video.

00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:18.640
 The data comes from a sample of over 84 million views,

00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.360
 comparing the new first frame view number and the engaged view

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.960
 number for each video.

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.400
 Blubrry has released support for HLS video for Apple Podcasts,

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.730
 including the alternate enclosure for apps like Pocket Casts and

00:02:31.730 --> 00:02:32.360
 others.

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.200
 For all plans, the company puts both HLS and the original video

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:38.440
 file in the alternate enclosure.

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.580
 If you're in Illinois, you can apply to the LJJP Illinois

00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:45.720
 Criminal Justice Reporting Fellowship

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:48.660
 and get paired with a seasoned reporter as a mentor,

00:02:49.220 --> 00:02:53.660
 connect to a national network of justice reporters and receive $5,000.

00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:56.520

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.880
 In Canada, CBC released its full audio slate.

00:03:06.140 --> 00:03:09.330
 In Australia, there's been a new call for shared standardised

00:03:09.330 --> 00:03:10.680
 data for media planning

00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.420
 and the assessment of advertising effectiveness.

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.720
 Parasocial, a new podcast app launches today.

00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:19.900
 Amongst the promised features are lightning-fast episode

00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:22.580
 recognition and shareable listening stats.

00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:25.700
 And a new version of Audacity is out.

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:29.500
 It supports the new FF MPEG version 9, which sounds very

00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:31.600
 exciting, but probably isn't really.

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:33.940
 Audacity still has its classic look.

00:03:34.380 --> 00:03:37.360
 The new UX is a separate piece of ongoing work.

00:03:38.820 --> 00:03:42.450
 And in podcast news, Mission Rodeo was launched last month from

00:03:42.450 --> 00:03:44.860
 the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:49.050
 Early episodes centre on the rodeo's new 1 million square foot

00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:52.580
 agricultural complex along Highway 288.

00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:55.750
 The vision behind the project and what it means for year-round

00:03:55.750 --> 00:03:56.700
 programming.

00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.580
 36,000 volunteers work for that event.

00:04:01.600 --> 00:04:05.190
 In History Hit this week, Dan Snow explains the Battle of Stamford

00:04:05.190 --> 00:04:06.000
 Bridge.

00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.840
 The dramatic story of the day that changed British history

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.980
 forever and paved the way for the Norman invasion.

00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:16.310
 And acclaimed indie podcast network Radiotopia from PRX has

00:04:16.310 --> 00:04:18.020
 unveiled Lightbox.
