This week's theme is Britney: As Told Through Podcasts. The curator is Jeannie Yandel, co-host of Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace

Why did Jeannie choose this theme? "The conversation about Britney Spears and her conservatorship is a conversation about power. You might think that one of the most famous people in the world, with hundreds of millions of record sales to her name, would hold an incredible amount of power. But Britney's case illustrates how stunningly easy it is to rob someone of their power and agency in plain sight — and if it can happen to someone as visible as Britney, it's very clearly happening to people with less visibility and fame."

This week's theme is Libraries: Not Just Books! The curator is Virginia Marshall, podcast associate at the Brooklyn Public Library.

Why did Virginia choose this theme? "The overlap between podcast listeners and library lovers is pretty high, and there are some really great book podcasts produced by public libraries. But libraries are more than just books: they’re our last truly free and democratic institutions, and some pretty amazing things are happening at them.
These podcast episodes feature amazing things that libraries do — collect the stories of
the community, preserve podcasts from digital decay, speak truth to power, and even help people solve murders!"

This week's theme is Behind the Icons. The curator is Andrea Asuaje, senior producer at Rococo Punch.

Why did Andrea choose this theme? "I am pop-culture-obsessed, especially when it comes to movies and music, and I love when we get a chance to take a look behind the scenes and see how a film or an album was made. Each of these episodes is well-reported, sounds beautiful, and uncovers another side of someone who we may have heard of, but haven’t considered as more than just a pretty face in a magazine, on an album cover, or on the silver screen."

This week's theme is Precedented Times. The curator is Newt Schottelkotte, a writer, actor, and producer.

Why did Newt choose this theme? "If I hear the phrase, "In these unprecedented times" one more time, I swear I'll scream. These episodes are my personal picks from a group of amazing historical fiction audio dramas (so listen from the beginning!), each with its own twist on times and places that are at least a little... precedented. Let's take it back to the "way way before-times"; these podcasts won't help you pass a history test, but you'll sure be entertained."

How do you measure the ROI of a branded podcast?

Podcast advertising is a good first step for brands entering our ecosystem, but they don’t have to stop there. Branded podcasts, when done correctly and for the right reasons, can provide a similar, if not larger, bang for the buck. Fatima Zaidi, CEO and Founder of Quill Inc. shares the math.
