  • The Podcast Taxonomy Consortium has posted its first white paper, proposing a standard for job descriptions in podcasting. The product of five months of work, it enables all of us to know the difference between a Technical Director and an Audio Engineer, for example. They welcome further participation, especially in translations to other languages.

    • Our jobs website Podjobs will shortly support the full taxonomy for all jobs listed.
  • Chartable has launched their 2021 Podcast Privacy Report. The free PDF explains how online privacy rules and tech will change next year.

    • Podnews’s podcast pages have the most comprehensive privacy information anywhere. Search for a podcast to see what information may be exposed when you listen. (It’s open data, too).
    • Neither Podevents or Podjobs use any third-party content, code or plugins. We’re working to remove all third-party calls from Podnews for your privacy by May 2021.
  • RedCircle has launched programmatic advertising today for its community of podcasters and advertisers. The company says it’s the only podcast host offering a complete set of monetization options including donations, subscriptions (private feed), dynamic host-read ads, and programmatic ads.
