• This podcaster in the UK might have found a loophole in the Apple Podcast Chart's algorithm, by the looks of things.

• Home podcasters are good for the newspapers to write about. The Art of Decluttering gets a feature from a Sydney newspaper.

• Event: Werk It, a women's podcast festival, October 3-5 in Los Angeles.
