Industry Insights

For when you’re curious what it takes to stand out in 2025: Apple Podcasts has started a list ranking top new shows! The list covers a diverse mix of genres and highlights ten new creators who have made an impact. The first list includes shows from NBC, 20/20 True Crime, and The Black Effect Network. 


For when going big means thinking local: As video podcasts gain momentum and platforms lean into visual formats, one major opportunity is still hiding in plain sight: local content. Some of the biggest growth for podcasting is happening at the hyperlocal level with radio.
