- 404 Media says that Apple Podcasts is being used for a sophisticated hack. The article suggests simply visiting a website can trigger Apple Podcasts to open and go to a podcast episode without user intervention. Apple has not responded to them for comment.

- In the UK, media regulator Ofcom has published its eighth annual report on the BBC. The regulator notes that the BBC has remained trusted by the majority of those in the UK, with 70% of regular BBC television viewers rating it highly for accuracy, and 68% for trust. However, it notes that BBC podcasts don’t appear in the Edison Research top ten for listeners aged 15-34.
- Ofcom also released its latest data for equity, diversity and inclusion in broadcasting. Disabled people are “woefully” underrepresented in the industry, the regulator says. (We’d love equivalent data for the podcast industry.)
