August 19, 2025Wonda launches: a creation-by-conversation tool
Sponsored by Riverside. Heading to Podcast Movement in Dallas? Stop by our booth (#408) to say hello to Stephen and the team from Riverside to talk all things podcasting!
Wondercraft today launches “Wonda”, which it calls “the first AI agent built for content creation – enabling users to create, edit, and refine professional audio and video by simple conversation.”
We thought we’d try it out to create “The Podnews Guide to Dallas”, which, as you’d expect, has things to do in Dallas and information about decent craft beer in the city. You can hear the whole show in the Podnews Extra podcast, and read the prompt we used. It took less than a few minutes to make.
The 100 Greatest Podcasts Of All Time will be unveiled at 9am today at Podcast Movement (Podcaster Stage 1). Left of Dial Media’s Alan Black tells us that the 300 people polled - from more than 20 countries - chose more than 750 shows for possible inclusion. Podnews can exclusively reveal that The Joe Rogan Experience has made the list - which was a notable omission from TIME’s best podcast list, published last month. We’ll carry the full list tomorrow: if you attend the session, you may get your hands on a limited edition print.
Missing Podcast Movement 2025 here in Dallas? Every presentation and panel will be recorded in both audio and video, and will be posted online for free after the event, it’s been announced. “Access to panels, webinars, research, podcasts, videos, and writing is something I believe is a mistake to gate in a growing industry, especially as a trade association or a major event,” Bryan Barletta told us. Podcast Movement merged with Sounds Profitable yesterday.

August 15, 2025New Heights in numbers
Sponsored by Riverside's Co-Creator. Meet Co-Creator by Riverside: turn one recording into clips, captions, show notes, and posts, instantly. AI that understands your content and markets it for you. Create once, publish everywhere.
Billboard reports record numbers for Taylor Swift’s appearance on New Heights. The outlet reports 9mn views on YouTube in the first twelve hours, and some data from Spotify - a “2,500% increase” in average streams, and female listeners up by 618%. However, in what might be a missed opportunity for podcasting, the ART19-hosted podcast from Wondery hasn’t published any data about podcast downloads, leaving the press to just report on video.
Podscribe reports that the show had just 7 ads (a 3% ad load). Brand suitability tools marked the show as a medium risk - it noted seven uses of the word “torture” (it’s in her latest album release title), a mention of “blow up” (about balloons), and two uses of the word “shooting”, both related to life goals. The show had 20 swears in it, mostly the f-word and the s-word.
The LinkedIn Podcast Network is to close, we understand. The network launched in 2022, and signed a strategic partnership with iHeart a year ago; however, most shows have been stripped of LinkedIn branding.
Two of the largest shows, Negotiate Anything and The Anxious Achiever, have moved to YAP Media, joining a roster of business podcasters.
Exclusive: No second chances. 41% - almost half - of listeners will not give a podcast a second try if the first impression disappoints them. That is another key finding from The Podcast Study: Growth, the results of which will be revealed next week at Podcast Movement (Wed 12.15pm, Keynote Stage). Hal Rood told Podnews: “Your first 10 to 60 seconds is your audition, and you only get one shot to earn a listener’s trust. If the open drags, lacks clarity, or makes people feel excluded, they will move on quickly and likely never come back.”

Sponsored by Riverside's Co-creator. Meet Co-Creator by Riverside: turn one recording into clips, captions, show notes, and posts, instantly. AI that understands your content and markets it for you. Create once, publish everywhere.
Libsyn has announced it has now paid over $100mn in creator payouts. Year-on-year, the company paid-out 40% more revenue between Jan-Jul 2025. Senior members of the team will be at Podcast Movement next week.
Exclusive: Rhapsody Voices has announced a spin-out from Evergreen Podcasts, and has relaunched as a boutique agency focused on the podcast and creator economy. Evergreen is leading a new round of investment. The network will be led by Mike Jensen and Harris Lane. (The company will be at Podcast Movement).
How are Gen Z listening to podcasts? Coleman Insights and Amplifi Media have worked with Transistor to produce new data. YouTube is dominating as Gen Z’s preferred podcast app; podcasts are mostly discovered through social media; and there is a stark difference, the data says, in how 18-24 year-olds consume podcasts compared to 55-64 year-olds. (Justin Jackson from Transistor and Jay Nachlis from Coleman Insights will be at Podcast Movement.)

Finally! Wondery show New Heights will finally get Taylor Swift as a special guest in tomorrow’s episode - it’s Taylor’s first interview since 2023. Is it a declaration of love? Or is it also an opportunity to promote a new album?

August 11, 2025“Unfiltered” podcasts on TV cancelled
Sponsored by Riverside. Your podcast deserves more than audio. Riverside captures studio‑quality video and audio, cleans tracks with AI, and auto‑generates shareable clips, so episodes are published before your first coffee.
In South Africa, satellite TV provider DStv announced it was putting eight video podcasts onto its TV channels. “This is ... a bold step into the future where linear television meets the gutsy, unfiltered world of digital storytelling,” says Shirley Adonisi, director for channel owner M-Net. But, the “unfiltered world” doesn’t always work with broadcast standards. Five months later, at least two shows have been cancelled, following “breaches of ethical standards”; one show, Open Chats, being dropped after racist comments that may be illegal (although that specific episode wasn’t brodcast). One affected podcaster said: “If DStv was looking for polish, they shouldn’t have gone down the podcast route.”
After Spotify returned podcast linking tool Podlink to its original developer, the service has now been rebuilt. The new Podlink has an updated list of podcast platforms that are sorted by popularity, the ability to set a default app, and highlights trailers. Its successor episodes.fm now redirects to Podlink; all existing links (for both) should continue to work.
The Empowered Podcasting Conference is to return to Charlotte NC, USA for its second year. The conference anticipates hosting between 150-200 attendees, “ensuring an intimate atmosphere that maximizes networking and meaningful connections”.

August 08, 2025Podcast listening on TV doubles in 2 years
Sponsored by Riverside. Your podcast deserves more than audio. Riverside captures studio‑quality video and audio, cleans tracks with AI, and auto‑generates shareable clips, so episodes are published before your first coffee.
Consuming podcasts on TV has doubled in the UK in the past two years, according to Edison Research’s The UK Podcast Consumer 2025, which was released yesterday. The research also suggests that Spotify is the main podcast platform used in the country - BBC Sounds being more popular than Apple Podcasts.
Nielsen launched Nielsen Podcast Fusion, a new dataset powered by Edison Research. It integrates Edison Podcast Metrics into Nielsen’s widely used media planning tool, Nielsen Media Impact (NMI). NPR and Ocean Media are among the charter subscribers at launch.
For the first time in the US, 18-29 year-olds now listen to podcasts just as much as AM/FM radio. About ten years ago, AM/FM listening was seven times larger than podcast listening.

August 07, 2025The biggest UK shows in the US
Sponsored by Riverside. Your podcast deserves more than audio. Riverside captures studio‑quality video and audio, cleans tracks with AI, and auto‑generates shareable clips, so episodes are published before your first coffee.
Exclusive: Ahead of today’s UK Podcast Consumer 2025 webinar (at 2pm London time today; 9am Eastern - still time to register), Edison Research have revealed the power of UK podcasting. The biggest ten shows in the UK reach a staggering 2.3mn Americans every week.
Two of those shows are from Goalhanger: founder Jack Davenport is on the keynote stage at Podcast Movement to share his company’s tips for growth.
One show is from Wondery, which announced 110 layoffs earlier this week.
How fast is video podcasting growing? Audioboom has doubled its video revenue in the first half of 2025, it says, and suggests that more than 60% of its creators are producing video podcasts. Over 13% of its business is now video revenue, the company says.
We’ve updated our list of Apple Podcasts “Best Of” shows to include the “best of” lists in Arab nations, which are also listed in the Apple Podcasts app. Sorry to the team from Debt Heads who noticed we’d missed them out. We’ve also corrected the star ratings that appear for some shows.

August 06, 2025Apple’s “Best So Far” podcasts: in every country
Sponsored by Riverside. Your podcast deserves more than audio. Riverside captures studio‑quality video and audio, cleans tracks with AI, and auto‑generates shareable clips, so episodes are published before your first coffee.
Apple Podcasts released its list of “Best So Far” shows - which “recognizes some of the best podcast shows and seasons since the beginning of the year.” The lists are localised for some countries - so Podnews today carries a list of all the countries we could find with a “best-of” list. It shows the focus of Apple - listeners in mainland Europe, most of Latin America and much of Asia don’t get a list, while Brazil is the only country we can find that lists non-English language podcasts in its Best So Far.
GuestMatch.Pro has launched in beta - from Blubrry, it’s designed to connect content creators, specialists, and agencies for interview opportunities. For the first 90 days, it’s 100% free for everyone (and will remain free for Blubrry customers). You’ll find our Editor there already!
Spotify is to cease support for comments for podcasts in Nigeria. We’ve asked Spotify for comment: it may be related to proposed laws in Nigeria for social media platforms.
