April 11, 2025Video on Spotify slammed; claims rebutted
Sponsored by Magellan AI. Did you miss our presentation at Evolutions by Podcast Movement last week? Download it here
“No clear audience gain ... unvetted, untested, and unproven proprietary metrics.” In a piece about video on Spotify, Sounds Profitable’s Bryan Barletta writes: “In its current state, I urge the podcast industry not to take part in Spotify Video and Streaming Audio as it stands to have a massive and long-term negative revenue and reputational impact for those involved.”
Pointing us to a recent blog post from Megaphone (for whom Barletta briefly worked), Spotify said many claims were untrue and sent Podnews a long set of specific corrections when we asked for comment. The company tells us that they’re keen to help. We last spoke with Maya Prohovnik in October, and we’d be keen to speak with Spotify again to get any specific questions answered. We’re [email protected] (or hit reply).
Ashley Carman covers Spotify music takedowns for podcasters in her Soundbite newsletter this week. It’s long been the case that Spotify has removed any use of commercial music in podcasts, regardless of any licence that podcasters have acquired. Ashley reports a recent change in Spotify’s tools - Podnews understand that creators now get eight days to provide more information, episodes can now remain on the platform if the content is correctly licensed, and there is now an appeals process.
Podnews readers get 25% off Soundbite for the first year.
New service PodcastPrepper claims to “reduce podcast preparation effort by 95%”. The tool delivers AI-driven questions to ask your next guest. Great for podcast hosts who don’t really care about the guests they have on, the tool is just $4 while in beta.

April 08, 2025The podcast from a crowded elevator
Sponsored by Magellan AI. Ads that run too early, too late - or not at all? Magellan AI checks every ad read so you don't have to. Verify every ad
Um. In a show titled Anything Can Be A Podcast (fittingly, only on YouTube), host Taylor Cartago talks us through the hit musical Hamilton, while standing in a crowded elevator. For an hour. Someone’s told him that he’s gonna rise up, while others enter the room where it happens just to get down to the lobby.
Acast held a “Capital Markets Day” for investors, setting updated financial targets for the company. You’ll find the presentation and the full webcast on Acast’s website.
Kast Media, still in bankruptcy, released its monthly operating report for March. The company made $25,211 in ad sales; and a further $5,130 in premium paid subscriptions.

April 07, 2025Google’s podcast download spike
Sponsored by Magellan AI. Public radio meets performance data: American Public Media has teamed up with Magellan AI for next-gen ad measurement. Read the full story
Google appears to be driving hundreds of thousands of podcast downloads every week, that we don’t think are being listened-to. The Google Audio News product on mobile phones and smart speakers is driving significant extra traffic - and, we can reveal today, we’re not the only company who has noticed.
Podtrac released its March US podcast rankings. Among the most popular podcasts, NPR News Now has overtaken The Daily; and VINCE has debuted into the chart at #7 - the show is by Vince Coglianese, and has taken over Dan Bongino’s feed.
Livewire published the top podcast hosting companies for February, based on released episodes. Spotify for Creators posted a ten-month high; #2 Spreaker posted a record number of new episodes, and Buzzsprout remains on a two-year high at #3. Libsyn posted another all-time low.

April 04, 2025Video: more important than ever
Sponsored by Instant Intro from Magellan AI. No more manual outreach. Scale podcast ad buys with Instant Intro from Magellan AI. Get connected faster
“Audio is still healthy and thriving, but video is more important than ever,” according to Amplifi Media and Coleman Insights. Speaking at Evolutions in Chicago, Steven Goldstein and Jay Nachlis revealed that 77% of podcast consumers are consuming both audio and video, and that social media has overtaken recommendations from friends and family as the most popular way to discover podcasts.
We’ve a short interview in the Podnews Weekly Review this week, from Evolutions.
Nick Viall has renewed his sales agreement with Libsyn Ads. He’d signed with AdvertiseCast, now Libsyn Ads, in Feb 2023 after Kast Media’s bankruptcy. Writing in Soundbite, Ashley Carman suggests that the near-four-year deal with Libsyn Ads is worth between $20-30mn. (Podnews readers get 25% off Soundbite with this link right here)
As covered yesterday, Oxford Road published its white paper containing the definition of podcasting, including a study of consumers. The study reveals that 72% of US podcast listeners now define the traditionally audio-only medium as being inexorably linked to video. What’s more, 52% say that videos of people discussing topics – available only on YouTube – still qualify as podcasts even without an audio-only component.

Sponsored by Magellan AI. Don’t just get downloads, get repeat listeners. Measure promo impact with pod-to-pod attribution. Measure repeat listeners
The Podnews Report Card results for 2025 were released on stage at Evolutions, with comments and scores by creators about the podcast platforms we all use. YouTube scored significantly higher for all categories, though creators expressed concern about walled gardens and about perceived complication getting listed. Apple continued to be creators’ favourite platform, though in the apps category, the independent podcast app Pocket Casts was #2. We’ve published the full results here.
What is a podcast? Dan Granger spoke at Evolutions, offering a new definition for podcasting. “The stakes are nothing less than the sustainability of the entire channel.“ The company has published a whitepaper for download; and, in The Media Roundtable, a three-part documentary that traces the evolution of podcasting from pirate radio roots to today’s billion-dollar ecosystem.
Spotify announced a number of changes and enhancements to advertising on its platform. It’s launched a new programmatic offering called Spotify Ad Exchange; and a new AI ad creator tool dubbed Spotify Gen AI Ads. Their launch notes contain a number of stats about how Spotify is working.

April 02, 2025The biggest app is…
Sponsored by Magellan AI. April Fools is over - so is relying on guesswork. Magellan AI attribution delivers accurate, reliable data for clearer podcast measurement and better ROAS. Optimize your campaigns
Exclusive Apple Podcasts remains the #1 app in the US for podcast downloads for the biggest shows, according to new data from Podtrac. In a presentation this morning (keynote stage 9am) at Evolutions in Chicago, our Editor will reveal data showing that - even with YouTube views - Apple is still the largest podcast app out there for the 250 biggest shows.
Evolutions, by Podcast Movement, kicked off yesterday with a keynote from Tom Webster - who spoke about the need to convert occasional listeners to more frequent consumers. Organisers say that the event has 1,600 attendees.
Magellan AI is not rebranding. Yesterday, Apr 1, they announced a rebrand to Podgellan AI - but it was an April Fool’s joke. “Of course we won't use the word ‘pod’ in our company name,” Magellan AI CEO and co-founder Cameron Hendrix said, adding “Who would do that?” Magellan AI is this month's sponsor of, um, Podnews.

March 31, 2025Hubbard Radio Launches Gamut Podcast Network
Sponsored by CoHost at Evolutions. How do you know if your audience is truly engaged? Fatima Zaidi of CoHost, James Cridland of Podnews, Sharon Taylor of Triton Digital, and Steve Pratt of The Creativity Business will tell you at Evolutions in Chicago. Join us tomorrow at 3.15pm.
Exclusive: Hubbard Radio has announced the launch of the Gamut Podcast Network, a dedicated podcast division for the 102 year-old company. “The launch of Gamut is more than a rebrand; it’s a pivotal evolution for our company,” said Ginny Hubbard, CEO of Hubbard Radio; the VP/GM is John Goforth, who joined the company last August.
Another snippet of data from Amplifi Media and Coleman Insights: “We asked YouTube podcast consumers which devices they use to tune in. Smartphones remain the top choice at 79%: but the big story is the rise of Smart TVs and computers — each now used by 46% of YouTube podcast consumers.”
The State of Video Podcasting 2025 is on Thursday at 9am on the main keynote stage at Evolutions - 24 hours after the Podnews Report Card.
Linus Media Group (on YouTube as Linus Tech Tips, among others) shares how the content company makes money. Revenue from YouTube is just 11.6% of total revenue; of that, 37.3% comes from a revenue share from YouTube Premium subscribers, which operates similarly to Spotify’s Partner Program.
