August 21, 2025Now, books get visual additions too
Sponsored by Riverside. We’re at Podcast Movement in Dallas! For 48 hours only, use code PODNEWS to get 20% off Riverside Pro yearly plan
As podcasts grapple with what visuals means to our audio-first experience, it’s the turn of books. “As part of Spotify’s broader ambition to reimagine audiobooks as a multisensory format, we’ve expanded our Follow-Along feature, which is an immersive experience that syncs time-stamped illustrations, graphics, and media with audio narration. Think of it as bringing the visual richness of a physical book into the digital age.” Or, think of it as the chapter art that is supported in some podcast apps. Anyway, the psychological thriller Culpability, by Bruce Holsinger, is one of the first fiction titles with the product. He calls it a “new frontier in audiobooks”.
Bryan Barletta posts more information about the Podcast Movement and Sounds Profitable merger. Details include the enhancements to Podcast Movement events, including: “James Cridland of Podnews will be Podcast Movement’s first Editorial Director, bringing his immense event experience and highlighting his dedication to supporting creators and the independent nature of podcasting. He will oversee the Creator track at events, with an emphasis on growth, education, and diversity of voices.”
Triton Digital released the Australian Podcast Ranker for May. It appears the ranker no longer lists top publishers and sales houses. In a separate release, ARN’s iHeart claims it reaches over 7mn listeners and 24.7mn downloads - we’d suspect that still means it’s #1.

Sponsored by Riverside. We’re at Podcast Movement in Dallas! For 48 hours only, use code PODNEWS to get 20% off Riverside Pro yearly plan
Podcast listeners are listening longer, according to new data shared at Podcast Movement yesterday.

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.

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.”

August 14, 2025Libsyn’s $100 million payout for creators
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.)

Exclusive: Most podcast listeners only make room for three titles in their weekly routine. That’s one of the key findings from The Podcast Study: Growth, the results of which will be revealed next week at Podcast Movement (Wed 12.15pm, Keynote Stage). Tim Bronsil told Podnews: “In a world where shelf space is limited, the podcasts that combine strong content with active relationship building have the best chance to secure a coveted top three spot.” It’s a joint project between Strategic Solutions Research and Point-to-Point Marketing.
