  • The Millennial Podcast bows out with their final show.

  • Russia is in the news, and She’s in Russia is a podcast with one co-host in Brooklyn, New York and the other in… St Petersburg, Russia. Aimed to combat politics and media that provide the world “with little more than caricature and sensationalism”. (Interesting production technique to just drop you into the discussion between the hosts, rather than a formal “hello, welcome!”.)

  • The Mayor of Louisville, Greg Fischer - “the most innovative mayor in America” - has launched a new podcast - unsurprisingly, he’s big news right now given The Charlottesville Thing. It’s hosted on SoundCloud so, you know, be quick or you’ll miss it.

  • Testing RadioPublic’s new embed code - this podcast, just four minutes long, looks at the trick one of the UK’s best-known radio presenters employs to get closer to his audience.

  • Fun today in podnews’s first reader get-together, in Melbourne, Australia. One participant said “it’s weird, there are more podcast networks in Australia than radio broadcasters” - an interesting point, given at least four podcast networks got together to talk and drink a quite pleasant session IPA. Total bar bill was only $88, thanks to others graciously picking up part of the bill.
