Captivate are putting a stop to it.
Thousands of podcasts that start in January are dead by February, and we’re doing everything we can to stop it. Claim your free access to Captivate from now until March 2025 today!
The new year always sees a huge rush of new podcasters, and they end up giving up for a few reasons: a) they don’t have the tools to grow; b) they get overwhelmed; and c) January is oversaturated, so it’s harder to get discovered
Starting now instead of in January gives you time to rack up downloads and growth, preventing directory algorithms from grouping you with all the new starters. This makes discovery easier.
We want to help you get your feet under the table and make sure you’ve got free access to the growth and monetization tools that will help you flourish, including:
advanced podcast and link analytics
feed drops and cross-promotional capabilities
memberships, tipping, dynamic ad-insertion

The Podnews Weekly Review this week contains interviews with Neil Mody from Headliner and Alberto Betella from RSS.com - and our Editor, James Cridland, discusses podcasting's seeming open-armed welcome to YouTube and Spotify, with Sam Sethi.

A week before the election in Ireland, new podcast From Bomb to Ballot: The History of Sinn Féin tells political party Sinn Féin's journey from the political wing of the Provisional IRA to the brink of power.

Other cultures have some great words that English doesn't. "Niksen" is the Dutch word for doing nothing without feeling guilty about it; "Kaputreparium" is German for breaking something while you try to fix it; and "Otsukaresama" is Japanese for a good rest after working hard. Fifty Words For Snow searches out words from other cultures that will make our lives better in some way; and launched earlier this year. Maybe play it to your machatunim?

Podscribe released its Q3 2024 performance benchmark report. Among the findings in US podcast advertising:
While host-read ads do work better, because they cost more, the cost-per-acquisition is actually the same as running produced spots. (And, as above, longer reads are more cost-effective).
Almost all advertisers only reach 25% of total monthly podcast listeners - so, there is significant potential for growth.
Amelia Coomber told Podnews that “audio is not a medium to be taken lightly. With all the stuff going on in the industry right now, I think (the report) is a shining light to speak to the exciting opportunity that is in front of us.”
In the US, YouTube is the service used most often to listen to podcasts, according to Edison Research. 31% of weekly podcast listeners aged 13+ choose YouTube as the service they use most to listen to podcasts; Spotify is at 27%, and Apple Podcasts is at 15%, says the data.
Attribution and analysis company Magellan AI has successfully joined the list of companies compliant with IAB Podcast Measurement Guidelines v2.2.
A number of companies have not recertified since 2021, although the IAB Tech Lab tells us that annual recertification remains a requirement. However, “a few companies” will be removed by the end of the year after choosing not to recertify, the company says, but wouldn’t confirm who.

- BBC Studios are to use Triton Digital for audio advertising and analytics tools for podcasts outside the UK, making the broadcaster’s podcasts available to over fifty ad exchanges on Triton’s global Audio Marketplace. The BBC continues to work with Acast, who are “excited to continue working together to grow the podcast market globally”.
Meanwhile, The Guardian has renewed its global podcast contract with Acast. The two companies have worked together since 2017.
There have been a number of job cuts at Canada’s Rogers Sports & Media. Among wider cuts throughout the company, casualties include Jordan Heath-Rawlings - host and EP of The Big Story - alongside Mary Jubran, an Editor and Audience Development specialist, and producers Robyn Simon and Joseph Fish. Earlier this year, Rogers closed Pacific Content; the company’s strategy appears to be a focus on a shrinking radio business.
Scott Galloway: “The Prof G podcast portfolio (Prof G, Prof G Markets, Raging Moderates) will register 2025 revenue of approximately $10m. We employ five producers, two analysts, and a technical director/sound engineer. I spend 8-12 hours (total) per week on the pod(casts)”.
Spotify’s video strategy is critically examined by DWNLOAD Media’s Chris Peterson. “This strategy feels completely one-sided — focused on growing Spotify’s Premium product rather than growing the podcast industry,” he says.
Like YouTube, Spotify is now displaying auto-generated wide, 14x9, thumbnails for video podcasts for some users.

Popular iOS podcast app Overcast has received an update that adds listening stats and 48-hour listening history.

Apple Podcasts shared the “most popular podcasts of 2024”. There’s more to the lists than just the US, though - we’ve compiled a list of the top shows in most English-speaking countries; plus, a way for you to view the top charts for 33 different places.
Podcast host Ausha has launched two new tools as part of its Podcast Search Optimisation features. The PSO Checker gives recommendations to help optimise your titles, description and tags; and the PSO Live Search lets you compare your podcast with your competitors.
“Spotify playlists and podcasts are being abused by spammers to link to pirate websites”, says Digital Music News, noting six-second podcasts that actually serve to link to websites. This isn’t entirely new - back in 2022, RSS.com’s Alberto Betella shared details of how that company deals with spam podcasts, mostly promoting Dubai sex workers.

The Tech Stuff
Producing creator transcripts in RSS? The WebVTT format allows you to specify speaker names (which appear in Apple Podcasts transcripts), and work with web browsers too; so if you’re only going to support one format, we’d recommend this one. But: while the WebVTT format has no formal line length definition, we’d recommend no more than 65 characters per line: it’ll help podcast apps display captions, and adds better timing information. --split-on-word --max-len 65 is your friend, if you’re using whisper-cpp.
An enhanced podcast:location tag is coming to Podcasting 2.0 - which lets you associate shows (and episodes) with locations: “This is a podcast about the Eiffel Tower” and “This is a podcast recorded in New York”. There’s a JavaScript tag generator here; and the specification discussion is here.
If you show podcast descriptions and episode notes, as mentioned above, spammers are targeting podcast directories to hope that you link out to their naughty websites. Our podcast pages mark all links from podcasts as rel=“ugc”, following Google’s recommendations, which essentially makes these links worthless to spammers. You might want to check you’re doing the same.
Tips and tricks
These tricks to get live captions for every podcast you listen to - on whatever app you use - also work for every remote recording tool, like Riverside, Cleanfeed or SquadCast.
Podcast News
We covered the launch of Routes, the new show for British train company LNER, a few weeks ago. We mentioned that the show is even being promoted in station platform announcements - here’s what that sounds like. Her next guest is Candice Brathwaite.
Table Read has just hit nine million downloads and continued to keep a top 10 spot on Apple’s Fiction chart for 74 consecutive weeks. It’s also among the first podcasts to secure a SAG-AFTRA partnership, setting a new benchmark in audio storytelling and creator protections. Each episode features a selection of exceptional, award-winning scripts performed live by a talented cast of up to 20 working actors in a world-class studio.
Pantsuit Politics has joined Lemonada Media. The weekly series is hosted by Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, who listeners describe as “America’s political therapists” and “our trusted, smarter friends who can help us make sense of the world. The show promises real conversations that help us understand politics, democracy, and the news, while still treating each other like thoughtful human beings.
Stop blaming boomers, says the host of new podcast Grandparenthood. Every episode offers wisdom and practical steps on how to grandparent from a distance, the value of grandparenting, spiritual support and what is distinct about a grandfather and grandmother.
Views on First is new from the Knight First Amendment Institute, exploring the ways the US government uses the border as a justification for censorship and surveillance. It launched last week; future episodes look at the government’s online surveillance of visa applicants, phone searches at the border, and more.
The Bruce Lee Podcast launched its eighth season today, featuring six new episodes with sport and entertainment luminaries. Each episode is aimed at amplifying how Lee’s philosophy can guide listeners in their professional pursuits and personal lives, while exploring topics that range from process and authenticity, to Taoist thought, self-realization, flow and tools to help us navigate life.
A new comedy podcast launched last week from Absolute Radio's Andy Bush, about the always hilarious subject of death. DEADPOD looks at famous deaths in TV soap operas, villainous deaths in popular fiction, dead technology, strange burial rituals in ancient civilisations, incredibly weird historical deaths… Bush and co-host Brian Murphy will cover it all.

November 19, 2024Amazon Music adds audiobooks in Spotify fight
This is sponsored by CoHost. Get in-depth insights into who your podcast audience is including income, family members, social media habits, age, and more with CoHost's Advanced Audience Demographics. Book a demo today.
Visit https://podnews.net/update/amazon-music-audible-2 for all the links, and to get our newsletter.
First look: In a move that could be targeted at Spotify, Amazon Music is adding the entire Audible audiobook catalog to its app. Unlimited subscribers in the US, UK and Canada can now listen to one Audible title for free each month (of any length), alongside more than 100 million songs in HD Audio, and a range of ad-free podcasts. Audible is the best-known brand for audiobooks (and lays claim to be an early podcast company, too): this offer also includes the company’s original productions. We’ve analysis, below.
First look: Acast has signed an exclusive ad sales deal with Casefile - and it’s a big deal: the show has 80 million listens. The show was with Audioboom.
How bad is “podfade”, the phenomenon where podcasters stop podcasting? Research by Podnews suggests that of the 24,464 podcasts started in January this year, 7,388 - 30.2% - haven’t posted a new episode since the end of February.
22.7% of shows started on Spotify for Creators in January haven’t posted a new episode since the end of February - that’s better than the average, as is 20.4% for Ausha, 18.9% for Megaphone, 12.6% for Podbean and 12.3% for Libsyn. As you’d expect, podcast hosting companies with well-publicised free trials show the highest levels of podfade, including Spreaker (40%), RSS (71%) and Hubhopper (83%).
These figures were calculated from Podcast Index data in August, using the dates for the first and last episodes in the feed. Some podcast hosting companies delete free accounts when the free trial ends, so they’ll not appear on this data. The top 5 companies with new shows in January this year were Spotify for Creators, RSS, Buzzsprout, Spreaker and Acast: who between them attracted 60% of new shows in that month.

The UK’s Goalhanger has announced its latest launch - The Rest is Classified will launch at the end of this month, hosted by a former CIA analyst and a national security journalist. The show will uncover the murky and often misunderstood world of international espionage. It’s to launch on podcast apps and YouTube.
New data shows that a significant portion of listeners takes action after hearing a podcast ad. The most common actions include visiting a brand's website (57%) and making a purchase (28%). The data is released as part of Veritonic’s November 2024 Podcast Study, which is free and released today.
Podtrac’s “top podcasts by country” rankers have been updated for October.

We’re thrilled to announce our first ever Black Friday sale, giving you access to Captivate for free until the end of February.
So many new podcasters start in January, and lots of them have already given up before the end of the month. Data analysed by Podnews shows that over 30% of podcasts started in the new year are dead before February. That’s a lot.
Why? They get overwhelmed, they don’t have as much time as they thought, and they don’t see success.
We’re determined to beat podfade for good.
That’s why you can start podcasting now, with unlimited access to Captivate’s wealth of growth and monetization tools, start strong and get established before the January rush has even started.
We can beat podfade together.
Sign up today for free access until March 2025.
Analysis
On the face of it, Amazon Music’s announcement today is a better deal than Spotify. Spotify offers 350,000 audiobooks, but only offers around 250,000 in its Premium bundle: and a confusing “15 hours per month for free”. Today’s Amazon offer is four times as large, and the offer of one book a month is much clearer, and broadly similar (most books we found in Spotify’s featured section are around 8 or 9 hours long, so you get one whole book a month there anyway). Amazon’s offer for podcasts is better for many people, too, with ad-free podcasts (which the company pays for); and Amazon launched HD Audio back in 2019, whereas Spotify HiFi, announced in Feb 2021, still has yet to launch.
Amazon Music has a free tier for Prime subscribers, though Unlimited is an extra US $9.99 a month. In 2020, Amazon reported over 200mn Prime subscribers globally, though they’ve not updated that figure since. In spite of that, Amazon Music is only responsible for 1.5% of all podcast downloads globally (OP3, Aug), 0.9% (Buzzsprout, Oct), 0.3% (Libsyn, Sep). Will a free audiobook change the numbers?
Elsewhere, Apple offers audiobooks, as does Google, yet neither offers a subscription offer, and both are entirely separate from podcasts and not cross-promoted. And perhaps you don’t need to pay at all: your library card also gives you free audiobooks, thanks to the Libby app - even books banned in some US states.

Just days after Spotify’s video announcement, YouTube has announced that it is to run an online Q&A session on Dec 12. Kai Chuk, Global Head of Podcasting, and Steve McLendon, Podcast Product Lead, will be “spilling the tea on platform updates and answering your burning questions”. The session is free; they’ll be joined by Stephanie Chan, a Strategic Partner Manager for YouTube Podcasts.
Ashley Carman got an interview with Gustav Söderström at Spotify’s Now Playing event last week. In her newsletter, she managed to prise a little more information from him about how the revenue for videos will work - though much is still under wraps - and she notes the tension from some publishers with the announcement.
John McDermott from Calaroga Shark Media is quite critical. For podcasters: “Do video if you wish. Do audio if you wish. But I don’t think this announcement wasn’t meant for you.”
Tech Radar suggests that Spotify “cares more about video podcasts than launching its long-awaited lossless HiFi tier”, adding “Maybe you'll be able to play Spotify Hi-Fi in your flying car”. Ouch.
In Russia, Apple Podcasts has removed a number of Russian-language shows, including a BBC podcast and shows from The Insider and Echos of Moscow. It’s also removed some apps including the US’s Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Podnews is unavailable in Russia, otherwise we’d ask whether people there can get the shows putting the RSS feed directly into Apple Podcasts. We’d be curious to know.

The Tech Stuff
Cleanfeed has made a number of improvements to the core audio quality of its remote audio tool. The Podnews Weekly Review uses this every week; advantages for podcasting over tools like Riverside and SquadCast are significantly lower latency and “what you hear is what you record”, rather than hoping that the local audio recording will be OK. Cleanfeed are a long-term supporter of Podnews, but we’d recommend them anyway.
