- Aug 27: Last week, your Editor managed to record an entire episode of the Podnews Weekly Review on the floor of the Podcast Movement expo hall - while using his laptop microphone instead of his hand-held. Luckily, Buzzsprout’s “Magic Mastering” tool has a feature called “Power Clean”, which rescued the pretty awful audio and turned it into something much better. Here’s a little bit of audio to compare the two. (Buzzsprout is a show sponsor).
- Jul 10: Buzzsprout has, ah, added some sort of new tools to, er, its Magic Mastering tool.

- Jul 3: The total number of new podcast episodes published in June was 4.7% fewer than in May on a normalised basis, says Livewire. Spotify for Creators saw a small decrease, but still retained its leading market share of 26.6% of new episodes. Spreaker (at 15%) and Buzzsprout (at 8.7%) saw increases in share, as did Podbean and Libsyn. Amazon Cloudfront still serves the majority of podcast episodes (now 60.79% of them).

We’ve appealed the copyright strike with Google, since this is literally how open podcasts are supposed to work.

.com, we thought we’d take a look at who, so far, are the most recommended podcasts by creators.
