  • Kiernan Shipka is the latest Hollywood star to appear in a scripted podcast. She will star in Treat, being produced by Audacy’s C13Features, in the first feature-length project from the company, touted as “movies for your ears”.

  • Evo Terra has published his Podcast App Manifesto - four things he would like to see in any podcast app. He spoke about them this week in Podland, where he was a guest.

  • Podcasting is “an ideal tool to inject false or misleading information into mainstream discourse while going undetected”, according to research from Valerie Wirtschafter at The Brookings Institution. 10% of all podcasts contain misinformation, she says, adding that open RSS feeds are a “significant hurdle for content moderation”. “Addressing the moderation of misleading material”, she adds, “requires a fundamental rethinking of the broader podcast infrastructure.”

Tips and tricks

  • Anyone can learn to do their own PR. Paul Blanchard has a book - Fast PR - which promises advice and insight from a variety of big companies. Paul’s a personal supporter of Podnews; we saw this in a tweet, though (and he bought us a coffee once in The Before Time).

  • The key to podcasters’ success is having a good community, according to our Editor, at least. He was talking to Audry.
