• Podfest Expo is taking place at the Renaissance Orlando at Seaworld in Florida; with the full tracks starting today. The Podcast Hall of Fame Ceremony is held this evening, welcoming eleven new people. We’re sorry we’re not there this year; but we hope you have a great time.
• Audiencelift has released a brand new version of its audience growth platform. The company says it grows your podcast audience by advertising your podcast trailer on premium digital publishers such as CNN, Yahoo and WSJ, finding people interested in what your show is about.
• The IAB expects US digital advertising growth to slow considerably this year. It’s because of a lack of big events like the Olympics and elections. It’s not limited to digital ads, though - everyone is predicted to feel the pinch.
