  • Rolling Stone cover Abbi Jackson’s (Broad City) new podcast, A Piece of Work, which is a podcast about modern art.

  • Columbia Journalism Review discovers The Podcast Garage, an experimental co-working space for podcasters from PRX in Boston MA, USA.

  • Podtrac released their top podcast rankings the other day - US-only. Of interest: NPR’s Up First at #6, the NYT’s Daily at #10. NPR’s promotion heft is clearly paying off. S-Town has slipped to 18, but is still there - the power of the archive.
