Latest news
- Apr 1: History Daily, from Airship and Noiser, returns with its annual April Fool’s episode today. In a press release, we’re told that the story being told in the podcast is real (it's about a consequential but accidental military victory in 1572), but the advertisers are also from 1572. The show is working with Magellan AI, who apparently built a parchment-based dashboard to help these 16th century sponsors get the insights they expect, according to the company's Cameron Hendrix who dashingly appears in their press release, in a picture we suspect may be violating our rules about AI.
- Mar 25: Magellan AI has launched broadcast radio attribution for advertisers. Recent data from Edison Research at SSRS suggests that radio is listened-to more than 3x as long as podcasts in the US.
- Mar 20: Magellan AI released its top US podcast advertiser rankings for February. McDonald’s was the top mover, spending $5.1mn last month (is it just us, or did they forget to mention the brand name in the ad? Weird) Clothing company Quince is the #1 spender, spending $5.8mn.
- Mar 3: Magellan AI has integrated DMA data from Nielsen into its attribution reporting. It will enable advertisers to measure podcast performance across all 210 Nielsen DMAs - using the same geographic standards applied to TV and radio.
- Feb 26: Magellan AI has launched “The Podscape 2026”. In order to get it, you’ll need to sign-up; but it is a good overview of the industry to put on the wall. We should mention that Podnews has our own Directory, which is updated every few days, and contains news articles about each company mentioned.
