For the first time, Spotify is now the most popular podcast platform by downloads, according to Buzzsprout’s global download statistics. Spotify slipped in front of Apple Podcasts for the first time, across Buzzsprout’s 124,000 active shows in April. But isn’t Spotify #1 anyway? Yes, but for listeners, not for downloads: until now, at least. It’s a notable achievement for Spotify, since Apple Podcasts also auto-downloads by default; Spotify doesn’t. (However, unlike Apple TV and Apple Music, Apple Podcasts is not available on Android.) We have a date: Google Podcasts is to close, globally, on June 23 (according to an email sent to a UK user). July 29 is the end date for users to export subscriptions. The closure leaves the Android platform without a natural default podcast app (we recommend either Antennapod or Pocket Casts). Apple Podcasts isn’t available on Android. Apple Podcasts Connect will be down for scheduled maintenance on May 11, from 6.00am PT for up to two hours. We know what we’d be hoping Apple is doing in that downtime (see above), but the realistic answer is probably nothing more interesting than a man with a beard doing a database migration.

When listening to ad-supported audio, Americans are spending more than three times longer with the radio than with podcasts, according to “The Record”, new data from Nielsen and Edison Research. However, for younger listeners (18-34), time spent with podcasts and radio are nearly equal, at 37% vs 45%. Podcast ad spending climbed 29% year-on-year in Q1/24, according to a new report from Magellan AI. The free report also covers details of which categories are growing, how genres compare in ad load, and the most common place for ads in episodes.

This is an annual day-long event focusing on meeting, sharing, & learning. SiriusXM released its Q1/24 financial earnings. The numbers are down for satellite radio and for Pandora; but Chris Peterson looks at the numbers from a podcast point of view, and discovers a bright lining: podcast revenue was up 22% year-on-year, and programmatic podcast revenue has almost doubled. Only 12% of people in India are listening to podcasts, says new research from UNPAC Research and Ideabrew Studios. The study highlights the growth opportunity in the country: 78% of existing podcast consumers only discovered podcasts less than a year ago. In Dec 2021, the National Association for the Deaf took SiriusXM to court for failing to provide transcripts. Lawyers on each side have argued ever since; and it shows no sign of being settled any time soon: the ruling is now expected after May 2025, according to court papers filed yesterday. Meanwhile, transcripts are available for all shows from Apple Podcasts, for 2.5mn episodes in open RSS, and live captions are also available on most devices. Beacon promises “trending podcast topics in your inbox”. The tool crawls podcast feeds and transcribes shows. The NZ Podcasting Summit is less than two weeks away - the event, in Auckland, is on Sat May 11, with speakers from across New Zealand. It’s not too late for tickets; and while it’s scheduled to end at 5.45pm, we know that the discussion continues into the night at a local pub.

A running joke in the show concerns "actor Ted Danson" who, the podcast claims, lent the host a lot of grain to get the podcast started, and has a loud bell he rings when he gets angry.
