- May 5: Staffan Rosell, the CEO of PodX Group, is interviewed in this week's Podcast Business Journal. Their plans are not to turn podcasts into TV: "We say to all the companies that we meet that it’s audio first, it’s podcast first. If you’re successful and you have something fantastic that someone wants to make television or film out of, that’s great, but that’s a bonus. Podcast companies think that everything will become television and film. That will be, I think, the exception rather than the rule." Subscribe free here for the full interview.
