Latest news
- Aug 28: Magellan AI has released the first ever Australian Podcast Quarterly Benchmark Report. Working with ARN, we learn that the average ad load is 7.53%. (In the US, it’s 8.13%). Podcast advertising must be seen as fair dinkum by the advertisers, too - podcast ad spend saw an increase of 20% year-on-year. Crikey!
- Aug 6: Patreon released new figures, claiming that Patreon creators have now earned over $10bn since the platform was first launched in 2013. The company is now paying creators more than $2bn annually; and there are now more than 25 million paid memberships on the platform.
- Jul 9: In Australia, ARN has partnered with a media trade publication Mi3. ARN, which owns iHeart in the country, will produce and distribute Mi3’s podcasts.
- May 22: Podcast listening has moved into the mainstream in the UK, according to the Edison Research Infinite Dial UK, which was released yesterday at The Podcast Show. The data gives a new high for monthly listening for podcasts of 51%. There’s a webinar later in the month to learn more.
- Mar 3: The company has previously refused to reveal how much Oliver earns, which we’d think is relevant information. ProPublica in 2021 showed that the previous CEO, Golnar Sheikholeslami, earned $758,337. We’d direct you to more reporting about WNYC by The Squeeze.
