Podcast listeners are listening longer, according to new data shared at Podcast Movement yesterday. Weekly listeners consume 6.3 hours of podcasts a week on average, according to the latest data from The Podcast Landscape - 5% higher than the previous year. The full data will be released in a free webinar on Thursday Sep 4 at 2pm Eastern.

The 100 Greatest Podcasts of All Time were published by Left Of Dial Media. The product of votes from more than 300 audio creators, the list succeeds in containing both some of the shows you’d expect, but also containing shows from different countries and languages. Attendees to Podcast Movement were given a glossy printed version of the list.

Congratulations to predictive analytics platform Flightpath, which is celebrating its fourth anniversary.
