Sponsored by Riverside. We’re at Podcast Movement in Dallas! 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.

Create once, publish everywhere. Billboard reports record numbers for Taylor Swift’s appearance on New Heights. The outlet reports 9mn views on YouTube in the first twelve hours, and some data from Spotify - a “2,500% increase” in average streams, and female listeners up by 618%. However, in what might be a missed opportunity for podcasting, the ART19-hosted podcast from Wondery hasn’t published any data about podcast downloads, leaving the press to just report on video. Podscribe reports that the show had just 7 ads (a 3% ad load). Brand suitability tools marked the show as a medium risk - it noted seven uses of the word “torture” (it’s in her latest album release title), a mention of “blow up” (about balloons), and two uses of the word “shooting”, both related to life goals. The show had 20 swears in it, mostly the f-word and the s-word. The LinkedIn Podcast Network is to close, we understand. The network launched in 2022, and signed a strategic partnership with iHeart a year ago; however, most shows have been stripped of LinkedIn branding. Two of the largest shows, Negotiate Anything and The Anxious Achiever, have moved to YAP Media, joining a roster of business podcasters. Exclusive: No second chances. 41% - almost half - of listeners will not give a podcast a second try if the first impression disappoints them. That is another key finding from The Podcast Study: Growth, the results of which will be revealed next week at Podcast Movement (Wed 12.15pm, Keynote Stage). Hal Rood told Podnews: “Your first 10 to 60 seconds is your audition, and you only get one shot to earn a listener’s trust. If the open drags, lacks clarity, or makes people feel excluded, they will move on quickly and likely never come back.” > > > 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.

Coleman Insights and Amplifi Media have worked with Transistor to produce new data.
