For a slightly different take on the US Presidential Election, The Rest Is Politics is running a live video stream from 3pm NY time, right through the night. Why watch mainstream media's coverage, when you can watch a former UK left-wing communications director, a former UK right-wing leadership contender, a left-leaning journalist, a historian who's political affiliation is unknown to this writer, and... whatever Anthony Scaramucci stands for these days. It's being broadcast from the Spotify Podcast Studios in NYC, and you'll also be able to catch-up on YouTube and Spotify.

Podchaser has launched “political skew data” across 500,000 podcasts. It uses “a combination of AI-driven analysis and human verification to determine the political lean of each podcast audience,” and aims to predict left, right or neutral bias and the degree of lean.

ListenNotes is spotting podcasts produced using Google’s NotebookLM, and there are now 1,781. Yikes. Brianna Ansaldo listened to 200 of them, and concludes: “without authenticity, it’s just a bunch of noise.”
Spotify appears to have quietly changed its language about its analytics, dropping the claim that its definition of streams “align to the IAB definition of a download”. Specifically, stats for “streams” in Spotify are not de-duplicated by unique listeners - listen three times to an episode (from the same device), and you’d count for three “streams” but would be one IAB “download”. A “listener” in Spotify is de-duplicated through the life of your podcast; a “listener” according to the IAB guidelines works very differently. We’ve updated the section on Spotify’s stats in our article about how to understand podcast stats, as well as making other improvements to the article - feedback is always welcome.

Enhancements to the podcast:location tag (from Daniel J Lewis and our Editor) are in Phase 8 of the new podcast namespace - specifically, it adds a new way to mark where an episode was recorded, as well as the subject matter of what it was about.

Phase 8’s plan is currently just two tags, to avoid burnout. The podcast:follow tag is the other one; which is perhaps better placed in podcast websites, suggests our Editor. It won’t be the first time he’s been wrong.

The UK’s Daily Mail is expanding its podcasts into the United States. Head of Podcasts for owner DMG, Jamie East, tells the Podnews Weekly Review that podcasts like The Trial of Diddy are showing that expansion into the US will work well. “We’ve got the facilities to do it, we’ve got the people, we’ve got the willing and the desire.” And, he says, there are wider opportunities, too. “If you’ve got someone based in Melbourne or Sydney, and New York and London, there’s not an hour where where you can’t have a team working away.” The full interview is in the Podnews Weekly Review this week.
Max Cutler from PAVE Studios writes that creators are the new Hollywood; with podcasts “officially going mainstream”, YouTube dominating streaming, and engaged communities now directly connected to creators.

You can try it on their website, so we did - here’s a test file with poor-quality echoey original clips from Zoom, then the Lark-treated audio straight after. By way of comparison, here’s the same thing, but using Adobe Enhance (v1). Ai|coustics sent this better example.

Exclusive: Spain’s Hoy en EL PAÍS has been claiming impressively high download figures; yet today, Podnews can reveal that many of the downloads were never heard. The 14MB podcast was observed automatically downloading, without user intervention, in a browser using an iPhone user-agent - just by visiting the elpais.com homepage.: thus artificially growing the download numbers from every mobile visitor to the website. El País got over 118mn visits in September, according to similar web, making it the largest Spanish newspaper online. It’s owned by Prisa. The podcast is apparently the 12th biggest show, by downloads, on Triton’s Latin America Podcast Ranker, and 45th in Podtrac’s estimated Spanish podcast ranker - the show, hosted by Triton Digital, also appears to contain a spot for programmatic advertising.
Podnews notified the newspaper of this behaviour, with a method to reproduce it, and asked for a statement. The auto-download behaviour has now quietly ceased.
If you think you’ve seen this before, iHeart was auto-loading podcasts on its over 1,000 radio station websites in 2018.
