The team behind the wildly popular Global News Podcast from the BBC have announced a new Asia-focused news show. The podcast, which will also be available in video on YouTube, will be called Asia Specific, and is slated to start within the next few months, according to the BBC’s Siobhán Leahy who announced the new podcast at Podcast Day Asia in Jakarta earlier today. Co-presented by Mariko Oi, it’ll be produced in the BBC’s Singapore bureau. The Radioinfo Asia Podcast Awards were also announced at Podcast Day Asia. The people’s vote for the podcast of the year was Joseph Ask, from SPH Media. The country of Singapore made the most entries; there were eighty finalists overall. If you combine advertising on both podcasts and streaming audio, you can reach 85% of all US listeners, according to Podscribe’s Q2/25 Performance Benchmark Report. The data also says that iPhone users convert 30% better than Android users - with Apple Podcasts being the leading app for visitor and conversion rates. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad hereGetting less than 1,000 downloads per episode? — Download your FREE Podcast Growth Scorecard!

Sponsored by SoundStack Marketplace. More revenue secures the future of podcasting and streaming. Make it simple for your creators in SoundStack Marketplace and keep great content flourishing. The top reasons people leave a podcast are that “it started with too much meaningless chat”, or that “it was just boring”, according to The Podcast Study: Growth, a survey of 1,200 podcast listeners first presented at Podcast Movement last month. The data suggests that the first 60 seconds are critical to get right to ensure your listeners stay with you. Today, The Podcast Study: Growth is available, in full, as a free download for Podnews readers. In the first day of Radiodays Asia in Jakarta, Indonesia, one of the speakers was Ron Baetiong from SeryeFM in the Phillipines. SeryeFM uses Spotify’s Open Access to offer paid access to shows - some of which are AI generated. Spotify is the most popular podcast platform in the country; but because Spotify Open Access allows SeryeFM to use its own payment processor, listeners can pay using GCash, a financial wallet app, as well as bank cards (which few people in the country regularly use). Exclusive: Podcast Day Asia is tomorrow, Wed Sep 3 (here’s a full schedule). Podnews readers can watch the whole event live from 9am-4pm WIB (3am-10am UK time, 10pm-5am NY, 12pm-7pm Sydney). Podcast Days in Spain is a month away. The event this year has a number of international speakers, including Eric Nuzum, Megan Davies, Todd Cochrane and Sam Sethi. It’s in Madrid on 2-3 Oct. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad hereGuest Match Pro - Beta Open — GuestMatch.pro: The Blubrry-backed platform connecting hosts & experts in seconds.

Alastair Campbell, former UK government communications and strategy director and now host of The Rest Is Politics, found it “absolutely surreal” to be performing a podcast on stage at a sell-out O2 Arena. “We had something like 15,000 people there,” he said. “It was very, very odd.” Campbell revealed this while being interviewed by Count Binface, a man with a garbage bin on his head who has stood three times for election as a British Member of Parliament despite being from the planet Sigma IX. (Don’t worry: this is quite a normal thing for UK politics.) “I went on one of the biggest podcasts in the world”, says one author, “and it didn’t sell any books.” Amie McNee went on Jay Shetty’s show - and adds that she is developing a theory that “Artists have been taught that success comes from external forces,” she says, before adding that success doesn’t come that way: it comes from word of mouth. Her book, by the way, is called We Need Your Art. Stop Messing About And Make Something.. Talks.co, a platform connecting podcasters and guests, has launched free speaker pages to help hosts find guests.

We know, you’ve heard this before - but this time, it’s going away for Megaphone customers, who still have access to it. If you’re with Megaphone, you’ll get an email today saying that a) Chartable is to be fully sunset on Dec 8, 2025; b) links are now available to publishers directly in Megaphone. (If you’re still using Chartable SmartLinks, you need to remove them.) There’s a blog post here about links, accompanied by what the landing page looks like (a massive Spotify button, tiny icons for the others), and what the analytics looks like. Apple’s six radio stations - until now, only available in Apple Music - are to be available on TuneIn (and, by extension, almost every connected device that uses the TuneIn catalog). The on-demand programming appears in Apple Music when searching for artists, and is one of the differentiators of Apple Music vs Spotify and other services. How brilliant would it be if a search for, say, Taylor Swift in Apple Music also brought up a direct link over to Apple Podcasts to “that” episode of New Heights? > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad hereGetting less than 1,000 downloads per episode? — Download your FREE Podcast Growth Scorecard!

Exclusive: To help with the tedious job of manually getting consumption data from lots of different platforms, Podstock has launched “Episode 360”, a tool that matches your short-form clips to their parent episodes, to let you easily calculate total reach for your shows, including those social media clips. The tool also pulls listener retention data across Apple, Spotify and YouTube. Almost half of YouTube podcast users listen to podcasts on YouTube more than they watch them there. That’s one of the surprising pieces of data from The Podcast Landscape, new research by Sounds Profitable (here’s a link to sign up to the webinar). And - while video is comparatively new in Spotify, almost a third of people there say that they watch podcasts on the platform more than listen. “If you are doing a video podcast specifically for YouTube, it better work as an audio podcast,” says Tom Webster: who might have got one of our stickers at Podcast Movement, defining a podcast as “something for your ears when your eyes are busy”.

For 48 hours only, use code PODNEWS to get 20% off Riverside Pro yearly plan As podcasts grapple with what visuals means to our audio-first experience, it’s the turn of books. “As part of Spotify’s broader ambition to reimagine audiobooks as a multisensory format, we’ve expanded our Follow-Along feature, which is an immersive experience that syncs time-stamped illustrations, graphics, and media with audio narration. Think of it as bringing the visual richness of a physical book into the digital age.” Or, think of it as the chapter art that is supported in some podcast apps. Anyway, the psychological thriller Culpability, by Bruce Holsinger, is one of the first fiction titles with the product. He calls it a “new frontier in audiobooks”. Bryan Barletta posts more information about the Podcast Movement and Sounds Profitable merger. Details include the enhancements to Podcast Movement events, including: “James Cridland of Podnews will be Podcast Movement’s first Editorial Director, bringing his immense event experience and highlighting his dedication to supporting creators and the independent nature of podcasting. He will oversee the Creator track at events, with an emphasis on growth, education, and diversity of voices.” Triton Digital released the Australian Podcast Ranker for May. It appears the ranker no longer lists top publishers and sales houses. In a separate release, ARN’s iHeart claims it reaches over 7mn listeners and 24.7mn downloads - we’d suspect that still means it’s #1. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad hereDon't sell a Patreon ❌, sell your subscription ✅! — Supporting Cast is completely white labeled, so your brand is always front and center.
