Search for ‘Podigee’

Yesterday, we mentioned that Apple Podcasts had mistakenly included Libsyn as a company supporting Podcasting 2.0’s transcripts feature. Libsyn had criticised the standard and clarified it didn’t support the feature. Today, we note they’ve disappeared from the list - along with Acast, Firstory, Pinecast, Podigee, Simplecast, Ximalaya and ZenCast. (We think Fireside and Pinecast support transcripts, incidentally).

Podcast host Podigee is celebrating its tenth anniversary. The company is based in Berlin, Germany.

The Made by Google podcast returned yesterday (switching hosts from Podigee to Acast). The announcement tells us to "subscribe on Google Podcasts (of course), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts". The newest podcast platform made by Google is, of course, YouTube, but this podcast from Google hasn't been uploaded there.

In Germany, the launch of the Podigee Ad Marketplace has been announced. The hosting and analytics company has partnered with Seven.One Audio, which is part of ProSiebenSat1, a large media company.

The Made by Google Podcast appears hot on the heels of announcements of the new Pixel 7 Android phone, and the Pixel Watch. The show is hosted by Podigee.

German podcast hosting company Podigee has launched a dynamic ad server. It's rolling out to all their customers over the next few months.

Apple has added Pinecast, Podigee, RedCircle and RSS·com to its podcast hosting providers page. If you're a hosting provider not listed, you should contact Apple here.

Podcast host Podigee has released a roles and permissions system for enterprise podcasters … the Fountain podcast app now has automatic downloads and other new features.

Spotify podcast listeners prefer comedy - Apple podcast listeners prefer news - according to new research from German podcast companies Zebra Audio and Podigee. News podcasts are 23% of Apple's downloads, but just 8% of Spotify's plays. Apple and Spotify are virtually the same size in the country, according to the research, which is also analysed by NiemenLab.

German podcast host Podigee has now got Spotify Passthrough, enabling dynamic ad insertion for their customers. They join a number of podcast hosts with passthrough enabled.

It's nearly the season of predictions - but Podigee's Mati Sojka is early: writing five things that will change in podcasting over the next few years.

Podcast host Podigee has launched redesigned, IAB-compliant, "Unified Podcast Analytics". It "not only makes us fully compatible with the IAB guidelines, but also goes much further in some areas - with technical specifications that, in our opinion, have not been described concretely enough by the IAB."

Podigee, which we think is the largest podcast host in Germany, has published advice on how to increase the number of listeners to your podcast.

Thank you to TeePublic who become our latest silver supporter, and Podigee who joined us last week. Thank you, too, to personal supporters Stargate Pioneer, who's in GonnaGeek, and the excellent and entirely correct thinking Remaniacs Brexit Podcast.
