  • The British Podcast Awards has announced the final shortlist for the Listeners‚Äô Choice Award this year, after polls closed.

  • Auddia has added two new features to its radio and podcast player, faidr. It now has visualised chapters (‚Äúshows the user where segment breaks are in the episode within the progress bar of the player‚ÄĚ), and another feature called Forward+ (‚Äúallows a user to skip forward to the end of the segment being played with a single touch‚ÄĚ). These features are available in most podcast players, but requires creators to manually add these chapters when publishing. The app also has a paid ad-skipping function.
  • In a masterful tease, Jeremy Enns of the Scrappy Podcasting Newsletter suggests that a small tweak of podcast artwork more than doubled its downloads. One reason might be that they replaced the word ‚Äúpodcast‚ÄĚ in the graphic, perhaps... because you shouldn‚Äôt do that, we reckon.
  • Ashley Carman writes about long podcasts - those that last hours. Apparently, people like them; though ‚Äúit seems likely that many listeners and viewers are keeping these programs on largely in the background, only intensely tuning in during peak moments of interest.‚ÄĚ A bit like radio, perhaps.
  • Ever wonder when podcasting got its name? Dave Winer says it was on Sept 22, 2004, and has published this exhaustive timeline. We‚Äôve also covered this in the past.
  • What was ‚Äúgoing quiet‚ÄĚ? We‚Äôre still working on that story.
