On the Media
The Peabody Award-winning On the Media podcast is your guide to examining how the media sausage is made. Hosts Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger examine threats to free speech and government transparency, cast a skeptical eye on media coverage of the week’s big stories and unravel hidden political narratives in everything we read, watch and hear.

This podcast may use tracking and attribution
Stats: Statistics are produced by Magellan AI, Podscribe, Podtrac and Spotify to help On the Media to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Podtrac is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Tracking and attribution: Podscribe and Spotify or their partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - they may spot a device that downloaded an episode of On the Media later visited the website of an advertiser; or they may track that a device that listened to On the Media also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
On the Media is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.

- Podcast GUID:
ef114fdb-7b39-59ed-8939-9bc58698b6d8 - This podcast previously hosted on WNYC (until Oct 2022), a different host (until Dec 2025), and still hosts with WNYC with a different RSS address. See changes across podcasting.
- This podcast doesn’t have a trailer. Apple Podcasts has a specific episode type for a trailer, which also gets used by many other podcast apps: but there isn’t one correctly marked in the RSS feed from WNYC.
- There is a different RSS feed listed in the Podcast Index (here) and our systems (here). Our systems normally pull RSS feed addresses from Apple Podcasts; and it should normally match what’s in the Podcast Index.
- Podcast episode titles may include episode numbers, which is against Apple Podcasts guidelines and makes it harder to listen to your podcast on smart speakers. Here is what Apple wants to do, and why.
