Latest news
- Jan 30: Lemonada Media is now using Supporting Cast, joining publishers like Wondery, Slate, NPR and others. (Supporting Cast lets you offer subscription programs that work in most apps, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube Music).
- Jan 16: Trump’s Terms was launched by NPR in late November - a rebrand of the previous show, Trump's Trials. Host Scott Detrow curates NPR's reporting, analysis and updates on the people wielding power in President Trump's second administration and the policies they are pursuing — from his closest political advisors to cabinet secretaries and top military leaders.
- Jan 8: Podtrac released its US rankers for December 2024. Almost all publishers saw a decline in traffic, as is normal. Acast leapt from #5 to #3, but the company releases its data after its quarterly financial reports, so while everyone else is reporting on December, the Acast numbers are for October (and are actually unchanged month-on-month). NPR News Now returned to #1 podcast; two shows from SiriusXM are new in the podcast charts, though SiriusXM isn’t listed in the publishers chart.
- Jan 7: After NPR switched to using Megaphone to host its podcasts in 2023, NPR itself is no longer listed as being a podcast host that is compliant with the IAB podcast measurement guidelines.. Megaphone is v2.2 compliant.
- Jan 2: In December, total overall podcast downloads on Buzzsprout were down 14% year-on-year. However, we’d not worry; both Spotify and Apple showed increases in download share; and we covered a few days ago that the total number of podcasts being updated is up 2.5% year-on-year. (And, if you’re getting plays on YouTube, or uploading video to Spotify, those plays never get back to your podcast host anyway.)
