An example of why a gradual rollout is not a great idea. In an article, The Daily Star in Bangladesh explains how to use the new Twitter Podcasts feature, with plenty of screenshots: but the writer's account hasn't been enabled for Twitter Podcasts at all, so the article completely confuses podcasts with Twitter Spaces.

Today's podcast who's had their story stolen by Britain's Daily Star newspaper is Pound for Pound, a boxing podcast. Their guest on September 18 was Carl Froch, who opined that the world is flat. That turned into a front page scoop for the Daily Star on September 24th; and a story on page 4; and an opinion piece - all without crediting the podcast he'd heard it on.

Finally, we return to The Daily Star, a British newspaper that steals stories from podcasts. This time, White Wine Question Time, a podcast by Yahoo! UK, interviewed Eamonn Holmes in an episode from July 25th. It took Alex Brown, a journalist from the newspaper, over a month to steal the story, entirely uncredited, which appeared on page 17 and online on September 5th. Any more?

Yesterday, we featured UK newspaper The Daily Star who nicked a story from a podcast. It's not the first time, we discover: on September 5th, the front page of the newspaper carried a story which was wholly sourced, yet totally uncredited, from the Podmasters podcast Maybe Baby, and their episode with Alison Hammond two weeks before. Anyone got any more?

Earlier this month, A Life Lived, produced by Muddy Knees Media for Audioboom, featured a chat with Sir Roger Moore's daughter Deborah. A story in The Daily Star, then The Daily Express, The Sun, the Daily Mail and Metro, all quoted from the podcast without any credit - the story even making the front page. Unlike the Australian plagiarism example from Monday, the newspapers didn't even acknowledge she was speaking in a podcast, leading many to erroneously think the Daily Star had got the scoop.
