1-in-4 frequent podcast listeners tip their favourite shows
December 2, 2019 · 2.9 minutes to read
One in ten podcast listeners have given money to their favourite podcast, says The Canadian Podcast Listener’s latest research. That figure increases to almost one-in-four “power listeners”: those who listen for five hours or more a week. Men and younger listeners are most likely to donate - and Québec is the most generous Canadian province. Psst - you can support Podnews here, men and younger listeners.

Has Apple Podcasts broken again? We note that “New Shows” in the Society & Culture category, in Australia, includes “The Spill” (new from Jul 22), “The Disappearance of Des” (from Aug 2), “The Duolingo French Podcast” (from Jun 18), “True Crime Conversations” (from Jun 19), and “The Portal” (from Jul 17). These appear to have been, mostly, updated for the launch of the new categories on Aug 2, but there appears to have been few updates for the Australian market after that. What Happens Next is the only new one we can see (along with lots of new US stuff). Perhaps the US listings are being maintained, and the Aussie-specific listings are not being refreshed as often? How’s it looking in your country?
