Latest news
- 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).
- Apr 1: In Jul 2023, podcast host Podbean was running deceptive Google ads that looked as if they were the websites of their competitors. Sadly, Podbean is displaying a poor grasp of ethical behaviour again: with ads seen yesterday that are passing off as links to RedCircle, Transistor and Captivate. These ads are against Google ad policy and may be against US law. We have again contacted Podbean; and again, they haven’t responded.
- Feb 21: After last year’s Podnews Report Card highlighted the difficulty of submitting a show to Apple Podcasts, Apple has fixed things - rolling out a new, streamlined, process to automatically submit a show for creators using selected podcast hosts. It removes the requirement to open an Apple account first. The launch podcast hosts are: Audioboom, Audiomeans, Ausha, Blubrry, Buzzsprout, Captivate, Castos, Hubhopper, Libsyn, Pinecast, Podbean, Podspace and Transistor.
- Jan 27: Buzzsprout is the best podcast hosting company, says TechRadar in a review that also gives special credit to Podbean, Libsyn, Captivate and Transistor.
- Nov 25, 2024: Podbean has returned to the list of companies certified to the IAB Podcast Measurement Guidelines. The company is now certified to v2.2.
