- The Podnews Weekly Review this week focuses on predictions from the podcast’s supporters for 2025. Video is one of the more divisive subjects, with some suggesting that it’ll become more and more important, and others suggesting that we’ll see a refocus towards audio. You can read - and listen - to the predictions on our website.
- Triton Digital’s Sounder has launched a new audio insights overview page, giving a new view for publishers of their content.
- Fresh from closing Google Podcasts earlier this year, Google has broken another thing: this time, “Hey, Google, What’s The Latest News” from an Android phone. That used to be a way to get Podnews to play, but now, thanks to Gemini, a bad voice reads news headlines badly. Podnews reader James Hart blogs on how to fix it. A Nest speaker continues to work, until Google breaks that, too.
- Mind, Apple has also broken “Siri, play the news from Podnews”; our iPhone tells us that we don’t have Apple Podcasts installed (we do); and our Mac plays something on Apple Music that is not us.
