On the Media
On the Media is a weekly show that uses the media as a lens to understand our world. On the Media listeners say the show is an essential companion, helping them survive the firehose of media coming at them 24/7. Hosted by Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger, the show does not do ‘hot takes’, instead offering listeners context, historical parallels, media analysis and often a much appreciated deep exhale. On the Media hosts have an eye on the nuances and details regularly missed by other outlets which helps listeners understand where they should be paying attention (and what they can afford to ignore). Our media diets have untruths woven in, and inconvenient truths left out. These are the bits explored every week at On the Media.

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.

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 Apple Podcasts (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.
