  • In Germany, for the first time, podcasting is now bigger than radio for 18-29 year-olds. And, once the preserve of men, it’s women who now listen more often to podcasts: with monthly listening more than tripling since 2019. The findings are in the Podcast 2025 Report, produced by Seven.One Audio. Podnews readers can download the full report in English.
  • Podcast criticism is important - and it’s needed. So says Imran Ahmed from Great Pods, writing for Podnews - sharing why podcast critique is helpful and useful; and, giving tips on how to do it.
  • Two of podcasting’s fastest-growing audiences are Health & Fitness and Self-Improvement. Tomorrow, there’s a free webinar about “the power of purpose-driven podcasting” - which will share more about those audiences, and why they’re perfect for advertisers. It’s from SiriusXM Media and Sounds Profitable.
