Podcast Show London announces advisors
Sponsored by Lean & Loaf. The bad news? Your podcast’s social media clips flop. The good news? We can make them slap.
The Podcast Show London 2026 has announced its Advisory Board, including Steve Ackerman, Ruth Fitzsimons, Arif Noorani, Vicky Etchells, and our Editor, James Cridland. The event, which takes place in late May, also outlined its submission process for speakers and sessions.
First Release discount passes close on Jan 30 - so if you want to save up to £100 (US$135) on tickets then you'll want to book now. (Podnews subscribers save even more).
Podcast app Truefans has closed a funding round, valuing the company at £10 million (US $13.5mn). The total amount raised was not disclosed. The funding will accelerate product development, including a new hosting service, updated mobile apps, and, says founder Sam Sethi, "new Voice AI agents called Kevin and Kelly". Sethi is also the co-host of the Podnews Weekly Review.
Audacy has removed a number of third-party podcasts from its radio and podcast app (including the Podnews Weekly Review, which was here). An Audacy spokesperson told Podnews: "We’ve removed a number of lower-engagement third-party podcasts from the app which accounted for a very small percentage of overall listening. The Audacy App remains the home for a robust slate of podcasts, including all Audacy originals and time-shifted shows, all podcasts from our premium podcast network and Audacy Creator Lab, key affiliate partners, and other industry-leading titles." The company, which exited a bankruptcy process last year, added all its podcasts and radio stations to the iHeart app, by its main competitor iHeartMedia, in July.

A new top 50 US podcasts ranker for Q4/2025
Sponsored by Lean & Loaf. The bad news? Your podcast’s social media clips flop. The good news? We can make them slap.
Edison Podcast Metrics released the top 50 Podcasts in the US for Q4/25. No change in the top five, but new entries from, among others, The Diary of a CEO, Dumb Blonde, and Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce. Serial, which had been in the chart forever, has finally dropped out of the top 50, more than 11 years since its release.
The top 5 differs from Podtrac's global multi-channel ranker announced last week; of course, it's US-only rather than Podtrac's global list. Podtrac placed The MeidasTouch podcast at #1; Edison places it at #18. The MeidasTouch's numbers in Podtrac includes video clips.
Kia-ora, podcasters in New Zealand: Aotearoa’s podcasting community will be meeting once more at The NZ Podcasting Summit on Sat May 9 in Auckland, which has announced its first set of speakers. This time round, there's a session about AI, and one about video. Tickets are available now.
Voting is open until Feb 5 for The Ambies, which is available to all TPA members. Cast your vote at The Ambies website.
Also, watch for another email today - TPA is switching membership platform to a tool called Glue Up, and you'll need to re-register.

Actor Sean Bean to host a podcast
Sponsored by Lean & Loaf. The bad news? Your podcast’s social media clips flop. The good news? We can make them slap.
The actor Sean Bean is hosting a podcast for the first time. He has been announced as the new host of the Get Birding podcast. The two-time BAFTA TV & International Emmy-winning actor, who is globally recognised for his starring roles in The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, grew up as a keen birdwatcher.
For the past few months, Libsyn has been unable to correctly offer "301 redirects" for all customers, meaning that it's hard to switch away from the podcast host. Podnews has learnt that the issue, which started in October last year, is being fixed; in messages from support, Libsyn has been blaming other companies for the issue, behaviour that a company spokesperson tells Podnews "doesn't meet our bar for customer support".
Earsay is another podcast app that claims to skip ads automatically: but this does it on your iPhone, using Apple's AI model. "When an ad is detected, you can skip it, listen through it, or let earsay handle it automatically." The company highlights that when earsay detects an ad, it extracts sponsor information — brand names, promo codes, special offers, website links — and shows them as visual cards instead; it also does full transcripts of every show. The developer claims that podcast creators won't be harmed - it doesn't cache or interfere with podcast downloads, though it does remove links for OP3 and other trackers.

The podcast awards that aren’t all they seem
An intriguing investigation reveals that the International Podcast Awards may be more about appearance than authenticity, featuring misleading images and fabricated winners. The Ambie Awards nominations are out, showcasing a diverse range of 227 nominees, while Spotify reports a surge in podcast discovery, with 34 million shows found weekly. Additionally, auto-generated chapters are being rolled out across platforms, enhancing user experience. Insights on podcasting's impact on public policy and updates on upcoming shows add to the excitement in the podcast landscape.

What a complete ranker
A new global podcast ranker reveals fascinating shifts in media consumption. For the first time, video clips on platforms like Instagram and TikTok are included, showcasing that 43% of The MeidasTouch Podcast's views come from video. Joe Rogan follows closely, balancing audio and video listens. The podcast also discusses how some shows, like The Daily, rely heavily on audio alone. Additionally, new monetization tools for ads are introduced, alongside updates on industry events and exciting project highlights from Book Riot and the BBC.

New CBC/Toronto Star show to focus on former Olympic snowboarder
Sponsored by Lean & Loaf. Top podcast teams trust us, from indies to networks. That’s why Lean & Loaf is the #1 video podcast partner in the industry. Ready to scale without stress?
CBC and the Toronto Star have announced a partnership between CBC's Uncover and the Toronto Star's Suspicion, two hit investigative crime podcast series. A new podcast, as yet untitled, will tell the story of Ryan Wedding, a Canadian Olympic snowboarder turned FBI Most Wanted fugitive and alleged drug lord. It'll come out later this year on both feeds.
Podspun is a new tool that turns your podcast into a searchable archive of information. We looked at its example channel for Diary of a CEO, and asked it ways to reduce stress; it gave us five different strategies from three different shows. The tool also can generate pull-quotes, episode summaries and key insights.
One use of AI might be to translate your show into other languages. Conor Lennon, who works for the United Nations, tried out Wondercraft's tools on a podcast that includes our own Editor, James Cridland, speaking at about 4'15 in; he speaks French and Urdu.

Podcast Hall of Fame pays its respects
Sponsored by Lean & Loaf. Use this one weird trick to never edit a video podcast again! Hire the #1 video editing team in the industry.
Dave Ramsey led tributes to Dan Miller, the host of the 48 Days to the Work You Love podcast, at the Podcast Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Friday evening. The popular podcaster was given the recognition posthumously, accepted by his family who attended the event. He died in Jan 2024. The awards also remembered Hall of Famer Todd Cochrane, who passed away last September.
New inductees to the Hall of Fame included former attorney at EFF Julie Samuels, who successfully fought a legal battle against a patent troll, Captivate founder Mark Asquith, Podcast Partnership's Paul Colligan, PRX's Kerri Hoffman, Arielle Nissenblatt, and our Editor, James Cridland. A video of the event, hosted by John Lee Dumas, is on the Podcast Hall of Fame website.
UK podcast company Goalhanger has announced it has more than 250,000 paid subscribers. Each paid subscriber pays on average £6 a month or £60 a year (US $8 / $80), suggesting that the company earns around $20mn a year from paid subscribers.
Assuming Apple Podcasts is responsible for 50% of those subscriptions, that suggests Apple earns between $1.5mn and $3mn per year from Goalhanger. Supporting Cast, who Goalhanger use for other platforms, charges 10% (perhaps earning $1mn from the other 50%).
Paid subscribers get shows ad-free. Given two shows a week per subscriber, that's at least 26 million downloads delivered ad-free; assuming 4 ads per episode at $20 CPM, that's a loss of around $2mn in ad revenue.
Do people turn to podcasts for breaking news? Yes, they do. Podcast411's Rob Walch, speaking at Podfest, discovered that durations for the top 200 (US) episodes in Apple Podcasts dipped notably on 3rd January - with the median duration dropping from 58 minutes to just 51 minutes. The reason? The capture of Nicolás Maduro: many more shows that day were news shows, as audiences caught up with the news.

Podfest kicks off twelfth annual event in Orlando
Sponsored by Lean & Loaf. Use this one weird trick to never edit a video podcast again! Hire the #1 video editing team in the industry.
Podfest kicked off its twelfth annual event, with an expected attendance of 2,000 people under a new CEO, Nick Pavilidis. There's a full schedule here. The organisation expanded its "Podtours" across North America, and claims significant growth.

Podcast Movement Evolutions will be at SXSW this year; more details have been released about the event including a morning keynote from YouTube, a dedicated recording space for creators, and a roster of leading sponsors.
Podcasthon has crossed a significant milestone, with more than 2,000 podcasts now signed up worldwide.

As Doug Downs reports for Podnews, it's showing significant growth.

2025 was “best year yet” for Apple Podcasts
Sponsored by Lean & Loaf. Never think about editing video again. Let us do it. Trusted by iHeart, Netflix, HBO, and the top podcast personalities in the world, see what Lean & Loaf can do for you.
Apple Podcasts had its "best year yet" in 2025, achieving record listeners, plays and subscribers, said the company. 2025 was Apple Podcasts' twentieth year, launching automated chapters, timed links, and dialog enhancement tools. It was also the year that Apple Podcasts made its submission process easier, and spoke at a podcast event for what the company said was the first time ever. It also remained the #1 podcast app for consumption in the US.
Apple also launched a subscription for its creator apps, including Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, for $12.99 a month.
YouTube is used by more people in the UK than BBC television, according to some new analysis. The data measured so-called "three-minute" monthly reach: people who have used each platform for at least three minutes a month. However, in a parallel with podcasting figures, people don't use YouTube for long - if you compare a "fifteen-minute" monthly reach, BBC tv still comfortably beats YouTube by 6 million users (and then there's the radio and podcasts to add in).
In Canada, 40% of podcast consumers "use YouTube most often for podcasts" according to new data from Signal Hill Insights released today. 24% say they only consume video podcasts in the country, though.
