- Aug 10: Charles Dannison has joined Airwave as Senior Vice President of Podcast Sales. He joins from The Sonic Treehouse and SiriusXM Media. The company is preparing to take podcast sales fully in-house ahead of 2027.
- Aug 6: Back in Dec 2021, the National Association of the Deaf and Disability Rights Activists sued SiriusXM for not providing podcast transcripts in its app. In 2022, SiriusXM kicked back, calling it un-necessary and unreasonable. Since then, we've seen Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Spotify and even SiriusXM add transcripts to podcast apps - to the point where it's an expected feature. It now appears that the two sides have reached agreement in principle on all key terms after more than a year of negotiations suspended the court action. Judge Jeanette Vargas has allowed a final deadline extension of Oct 30.
- Aug 4: Spotify remains the biggest podcast network in the US by reach, suggests new data from Edison Research. SiriusXM is at #2, iHeart is at #3. The data is based on the reach of represented shows for each network. However, given that Spotify is encouraging listeners to skip its own ads, this ranker may not be based on listeners to the actual advertisements.
- Jul 31: For the networks, Spotify has four shows; SiriusXM has three; Red Seat Ventures and Wondery have two each.
- Jul 22: The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and Katya has signed with SiriusXM. Hosted by two of the world's most recognizable drag entertainers, the show has earned nearly 100 million lifetime downloads on RSS. It was previously with Confetti Cannon.
