Latest news
- Sep 26: This isn't a new technology. Hear our Editor translated into Spanish in the Podnews Daily podcast today - from almost two years ago.
- Sep 22: Acast's Ross Adams and Podscribe's Pete Birsinger are the guests on the Podnews Weekly Review this week, explaining Acast's recent decision to stop accepting Spotify Ad Analytics and instead to offer Podscribe for free, along with using a number of other attribution partners. Ross tells us: "Relying solely on a one-publisher environment for data aggregation could, we believe, introduce bias and self-promotion. That hinders the objective analysis of data. Podscribe, it's worth noting, doesn't sell media. Spotify does." The interview is in full in the Podnews Weekly Review.
- Sep 21: Headliner has added a free transcription service into Make, the company's audiogram and video tool. Once you log in, look for the big pink transcribe button. The product, called Eddy, also allows you to edit a podcast as if it's a word document. (We were given a complimentary subscription to Headliner to publish the Podnews Weekly Review on YouTube.)
- Sep 20: Sony Music is to lay off "a significant percentage" of its podcast division, according to a report in Bloomberg. The company is also to cancel High Low with EmRata, its celebrity podcast with Emily Ratajkowski.
- Sep 19: iOS 17 has been released for iPhone and iPad. A free update, it includes significant changes for Apple Podcasts, unlocking episode art and a new Now Playing experience among other features. Episode art is already supported by Spotify, Pocket Casts and other large apps: you'll find it in our daily and weekly podcasts.
