Podscribe will reveal the Q4/2024 Performance Benchmarks report in a webinar tomorrow. Podscribe attendees will get the new data, from Podscribe, a week before everyone else. It’s free to sign up. (This time yesterday, we covered this story but got the name of the company wrong - not for the first time. Humble apologies: your editor is an idiot.)

Magellan AI will also run a webinar on Thursday, with detail from that company’s Benchmark Report.
