With exclusive data today from Edison Research, Podnews can reveal the massive - and growing - size of the US podcasting industry - and a suggestion for a new metric for podcasting to express its growth over the next twenty years.

Pierre Bouvard, writing in the Cumulus Media and Westwood One blog, highlights some of the benefits of using visuals in audio advertising, using a number of studies.

July 10, 2025Buzzsprout Magic Mastering adds more magic
Sponsored by Riverside. Create studio-quality podcasts, anywhere. Riverside is your all-in-one platform for professional podcast creation, with remote high-quality recording, editing, and publishing. Trusted by top creators worldwide.
Buzzsprout has, ah, added some sort of new tools to, er, its Magic Mastering tool. The tool now has “filler killer”, a tool that “cautiously detects and removes filler words”, and “power clean”, a tool you can manually turn on when required that can remove complex noises like chatter, wind, traffic, or reverb.
We gave it a copy of the Podnews Weekly Review, which Buzzsprout sponsor, and turned on “filler killer”. It turns out that it shaved more than three minutes thirty seconds of “ums” and “ahs” from our original hour-long show; and the ums it removed weren’t audible. (There’s are a few examples in our daily podcast today). We’ll, um, you know, turn it on, then, tomorrow.
Podscribe released its industry rankings for July 2025. Crime Junkie is still the #1 podcast, it says, with 8.1 million listeners; Toyota is the new #2 podcast advertiser, behind BetterHelp.
Higher Ed PodCon, a higher education podcasters’ conference this weekend in Chicago IL, USA, has more than 150 registrations, representing over a hundred universities. “It's shaping up to be an inspiring day of conversation and connection that reflects just how much momentum there is around podcasting in higher education,” we’re told.

July 09, 2025Funding feature brings new opportunities to podcasting
Sponsored by Riverside. Create studio-quality podcasts, anywhere. Riverside is your all-in-one platform for professional podcast creation, with remote high-quality recording, editing, and publishing. Trusted by top creators worldwide.
NPR has recently added support for the funding tag across its shows - it’s a Podcasting 2.0 feature in RSS that enables a link to help directly support a show. Supporting Cast notes in a blog today that use of the feature continues to grow, now it’s supported by apps like Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict and AntennaPod.
Here’s the guide on podcasting2.org, including some screenshots of different apps.
In Canada, The Podcast Exchange (TPX) is to file for bankruptcy. “Since 2018, The Podcast Exchange (TPX) has been a pioneer in building the podcast advertising market in Canada. We’ve worked hard over the years to support advertisers and publishing partners and deliver real value. Despite those efforts, the business has faced sustained financial challenges for some time.” said the CEO Pary Bell in an email.
Clarification: while "to file for bankruptcy" is well-used shorthand used by publications like Bloomberg, USA Today, or the Hollywood Reporter for "voluntarily submitting to a court-supervised restructuring process similar to Chapter 11 protection in the US", we should clarify that TPX is, indeed, voluntarily submitting to a court-supervised restructuring process similar to Chapter 11 protection in the US, and under the supervision of a licensed trustee the company plans to restructure its obligations and continue operating, as is clear from Bell's email.
Podtrac released its June Podcast Rankers. Unique monthly audience was down, month-on-month, for every publisher. It lists participating publishers only.

July 08, 2025Spotify ensures podlink’s future
Sponsored by Riverside. Create studio-quality podcasts, anywhere. Riverside is your all-in-one platform for professional podcast creation, with remote high-quality recording, editing, and publishing. Trusted by top creators worldwide.
In a welcome move, Spotify has returned podcast linking tool pod.link to its original developer, Nathan Gathright. Podlink, which offers one simple link to a podcast on all platforms, launched in Aug 2018, and was purchased by Podsights in Feb 2021, which in turn was acquired by Spotify in Feb 2022. Gathright left Spotify in 2023. The move will make sure that over 1.7 million links to Podlink on the web will keep working.
Spotify tells us: “Spotify is committed to building great products that help creators succeed. As we continue investing in native solutions that help creators and publishers track and promote their podcast episodes more effectively, we’ve decided to return Pod.link to its founder. We're collaborating closely to ensure a smooth handoff, with minimal impact to users throughout the transition”.
Here are other universal links tools, including Podfollow, Linkfire, and episodes.fm - which is also by Nathan Gathright (as are the platform logos you’ll see in our podcast pages).
True Native Media has announced two ways for podcast publishers to earn money. PodRamp is for emerging podcasts, helping smaller shows with programmatic ad management and hosting; PodPremium, the company’s established offering, is for larger shows, with strategic representation and premium host-read ad campaigns.
In the UK, AudioUK has launched a campaign for formal recognition of podcasting and audio as a core UK creative industry. It follows similar action in Canada and France. Recognition could mean tax relief and a place in policy-making committees. The release includes action that UK-based audio companies or individuals can take.
