September 09, 2025 Blubrry CEO Todd Cochrane has died
Todd Cochrane, the CEO of Blubrry Podcasting and an independent podcaster, has died. He was 61.
In a statement from the company, Blubrry’s Barry Kantz said: “His leadership, passion, and belief in independent creators guided Blubrry from day one. Todd’s impact on our company, our team, and the entire podcasting community is immeasurable.”
Podnews today carries a full obituary - from his time in the United States Navy, via his dial-up bulletin boards and Geek News Central, to his successful podcast company.
The New Media Show will air a final memorial episode with long-term cohost Rob Greenlee and guests Adam Curry, Mike Dell and Rob Walch on Wednesday at 3pm EST.
“I’m not a Joe Rogan, nor will I ever be. But what I am is a guy that grew up in the country with humble beginnings, high school education, followed by a bachelor’s degree late in life in a field that I’m not even working in right now. And by God, if I can do this and succeed and grind and put out a show - anyone can.”
Podnews returns tomorrow.

September 08, 2025Taylor Swift made New Heights 6× larger last month
Sponsored by SoundStack Marketplace. More revenue secures the future of podcasting/streaming. Monetize shows easily in SoundStack Marketplace and keep great content flourishing.
Taylor Swift’s appearance in New Heights made the show’s monthly downloads more than six times larger, according to a report from Podscribe. The show became the fifth biggest in August. However, it was still beaten, in terms of 60d average episode downloads, by The Diary of a CEO, which averaged 3.4mn downloads per episode (New Heights got an average of 3.2mn). The report also says that Amazon is now podcasting’s biggest advertiser.
Podtrac also released its rankers for August 2025. Most publishers saw an increase in audience. Wondery isn’t a participating publisher.
Is YouTube doing odd things? Linus Media Group suggests 25% of their views have disappeared. Second Wind suggests something is going wrong; RedLetterMedia suggests it’s something to do with swearing; Moon Channel wonders if it’s something they said; and Clint’s Reptiles are confused as to why their numbers are low. Whatever’s going on, there seems to be a lot of reports of lower traffic.
CrimeCon in Denver announced the winners of the 2025 Clue Awards. There were two awards for podcasts - Who Killed Jennifer Judd (season 2), produced by ID and Ark Media; and True Crime News: The Podcast, from Telepictures Productions Inc and Warner Bros. Entertainment.

September 04, 2025In Our Time’s Melvyn Bragg to step down
Sponsored by SoundStack Marketplace. More revenue secures the future of podcasting and streaming. Make it simple for your creators in SoundStack Marketplace and keep great content flourishing.
Melvyn Bragg has announced he is to step down from presenting the In Our Time podcast. The 85 year-old first joined the BBC in 1961; the podcast and radio programme has aired since October 1998, and is one of the most popular podcasts from the BBC.
In Our Time was the first podcast from the BBC, put into an RSS feed in Nov 2004 by Matt Webb of BBC Radio & Music Interactive.
One of the latest episodes in the podcast feed, broadcast in July, was entitled “Civility: talking with those who disagree with you”. While Bragg says the show has a “wholly misleading title”, what could be more “In Our Time”?
YouTube appears to be having trouble importing RSS feeds once more, and the service is sending emails to many podcasters claiming it has failed to retrieve their latest episodes. A number of podcast hosts have had similar reports: it’s up to YouTube to fix.
Patreon has launched updated creator pages. “The new creator page is available to all creators, but it won’t go live until you publish it for your fans.”

September 03, 2025New BBC News podcast for Asia
Sponsored by SoundStack Marketplace. More revenue secures the future of podcasting and streaming. Make it simple for your creators in SoundStack Marketplace and keep great content flourishing.
The team behind the wildly popular Global News Podcast from the BBC have announced a new Asia-focused news show. The podcast, which will also be available in video on YouTube, will be called Asia Specific, and is slated to start within the next few months, according to the BBC’s Siobhán Leahy who announced the new podcast at Podcast Day Asia in Jakarta earlier today. Co-presented by Mariko Oi, it’ll be produced in the BBC’s Singapore bureau.
The Radioinfo Asia Podcast Awards were also announced at Podcast Day Asia. The people’s vote for the podcast of the year was Joseph Ask, from SPH Media. The country of Singapore made the most entries; there were eighty finalists overall.
If you combine advertising on both podcasts and streaming audio, you can reach 85% of all US listeners, according to Podscribe’s Q2/25 Performance Benchmark Report. The data also says that iPhone users convert 30% better than Android users - with Apple Podcasts being the leading app for visitor and conversion rates.

September 02, 2025“Too boring”: number one reason why people stop listening
Sponsored by SoundStack Marketplace. More revenue secures the future of podcasting and streaming. Make it simple for your creators in SoundStack Marketplace and keep great content flourishing.
The top reasons people leave a podcast are that “it started with too much meaningless chat”, or that “it was just boring”, according to The Podcast Study: Growth, a survey of 1,200 podcast listeners first presented at Podcast Movement last month. The data suggests that the first 60 seconds are critical to get right to ensure your listeners stay with you. Today, The Podcast Study: Growth is available, in full, as a free download for Podnews readers.
In the first day of Radiodays Asia in Jakarta, Indonesia, one of the speakers was Ron Baetiong from SeryeFM in the Phillipines. SeryeFM uses Spotify’s Open Access to offer paid access to shows - some of which are AI generated. Spotify is the most popular podcast platform in the country; but because Spotify Open Access allows SeryeFM to use its own payment processor, listeners can pay using GCash, a financial wallet app, as well as bank cards (which few people in the country regularly use).
Exclusive: Podcast Day Asia is tomorrow, Wed Sep 3 (here’s a full schedule). Podnews readers can watch the whole event live from 9am-4pm WIB (3am-10am UK time, 10pm-5am NY, 12pm-7pm Sydney).
Podcast Days in Spain is a month away. The event this year has a number of international speakers, including Eric Nuzum, Megan Davies, Todd Cochrane and Sam Sethi. It’s in Madrid on 2-3 Oct.

September 01, 2025Live podcast events are “surreal” says Alastair Campbell
Sponsored by SoundStack Marketplace. More revenue secures the future of podcasting and streaming. Make it simple for your creators in SoundStack Marketplace and keep great content flourishing.
Alastair Campbell, former UK government communications and strategy director and now host of The Rest Is Politics, found it “absolutely surreal” to be performing a podcast on stage at a sell-out O2 Arena. “We had something like 15,000 people there,” he said. “It was very, very odd.”
Campbell revealed this while being interviewed by Count Binface, a man with a garbage bin on his head who has stood three times for election as a British Member of Parliament despite being from the planet Sigma IX. (Don’t worry: this is quite a normal thing for UK politics.)
“I went on one of the biggest podcasts in the world”, says one author, “and it didn’t sell any books.” Amie McNee went on Jay Shetty’s show - and adds that she is developing a theory that “Artists have been taught that success comes from external forces,” she says, before adding that success doesn’t come that way: it comes from word of mouth. Her book, by the way, is called We Need Your Art. Stop Messing About And Make Something..
Talks.co, a platform connecting podcasters and guests, has launched free speaker pages to help hosts find guests. The page comes with an easy-to-use URL to help promote it.

Exclusive: Chartable is going away. We know, you’ve heard this before - but this time, it’s going away for Megaphone customers, who still have access to it. If you’re with Megaphone, you’ll get an email today saying that a) Chartable is to be fully sunset on Dec 8, 2025; b) links are now available to publishers directly in Megaphone. (If you’re still using Chartable SmartLinks, you need to remove them.) There’s a blog post here about links, accompanied by what the landing page looks like (a massive Spotify button, tiny icons for the others), and what the analytics looks like.
Apple’s six radio stations - until now, only available in Apple Music - are to be available on TuneIn (and, by extension, almost every connected device that uses the TuneIn catalog). The on-demand programming appears in Apple Music when searching for artists, and is one of the differentiators of Apple Music vs Spotify and other services.
How brilliant would it be if a search for, say, Taylor Swift in Apple Music also brought up a direct link over to Apple Podcasts to “that” episode of New Heights?

Almost half of YouTube podcast users listen to podcasts on YouTube more than they watch them there. That’s one of the surprising pieces of data from The Podcast Landscape, new research by Sounds Profitable (here’s a link to sign up to the webinar). And - while video is comparatively new in Spotify, almost a third of people there say that they watch podcasts on the platform more than listen. “If you are doing a video podcast specifically for YouTube, it better work as an audio podcast,” says Tom Webster: who might have got one of our stickers at Podcast Movement, defining a podcast as “something for your ears when your eyes are busy”.
