Latest news
- Oct 27: How much are you using the new Podcasting 2.0 features? Transistor has released a podcast score tool. Podnews Daily gets 8.8 out of 10, because we don’t have chapters. :whatever:
- Oct 10: Transistor has released a free podcast episode art generator, which uses your podcast feed to help make episodes. You can use it wherever you’re hosted. Justin uses it for his Build your Saas podcast.
- Oct 2:
Livewire published its podcast hosts by episode share data for September, based on all 1.5 million episodes published that month. At #2, Spreaker jumped from 15.2% to a record 17.1% (they’re the company Inception Point AI uses for its wholly AI-generated shows); the #3 Buzzsprout saw a record share of 10%. Simplecast (#6), RSS
.com (#7), Transistor (#9) and Captivate (#10) are also sitting on record highs. However elsewhere in the top ten, heritage brands Podbean (#4) and Libsyn (#8) posted their lowest-ever numbers. - Aug 14: How are Gen Z listening to podcasts? Coleman Insights and Amplifi Media have worked with Transistor to produce new data. YouTube is dominating as Gen Z’s preferred podcast app; podcasts are mostly discovered through social media; and there is a stark difference, the data says, in how 18-24 year-olds consume podcasts compared to 55-64 year-olds. (Justin Jackson from Transistor and Jay Nachlis from Coleman Insights will be at Podcast Movement.)
