Latest news
- Jun 12: iHeartRadio, Amazon Music and Acast's Podchaser also had this kind of spam in their directory, says the committee's report. Jellypod, an AI-generated podcast tool, is highlighted as one of the tools used to publish this content. We've covered efforts to remove spam shows like this in the past (like this, back in 2022, and the Podcast Index's work more recently). In our opinion, this isn't a Spotify problem - it's an industry-wide issue, that we should be working together to combat. It shouldn't be hard to automatically share potentially problematic feeds across the industry: and to highlight podcast hosting companies who fail to adequately moderate their users' content.
