Sponsored by Riverside. The online podcast editor that cuts down editing time. Riverside now offers separate track editing, audio enhancement, EQ, filler word removal, and music. Everything to produce professional podcasts fast. Spotify released its Q2/25 financial report. Year-on-year, the company made 53% more income, and 19% higher profit. It now has 696mn monthly users (up 11%). Spotify’s revenue from ads decreased by 1% to €453mn (US $523mn). Daniel Ek tackled this head on in his opening remarks: “The one area that hasn’t yet met our expectations is our ads business – we've been moving too slowly and it’s taking longer than expected to see the improvements we initiated take hold. It’s really an execution challenge, not a problem with the strategy. While I am unhappy with where we are today, I remain confident in the ambitions we laid out for this business… we are working quickly to ensure we are on the right path.” Spotify’s VP of Global Advertising, Lee Brown, is to leave the company by what’s described as a mutual agreement. How is video working on Spotify. In Dec 2023, the company only had 100,000 video podcasts on its platform; now, according to Gustav Söderström, there are “more than 430,000 video podcasts on Spotify and video continues to outperform with consumption trending higher and higher - growing 20x faster than audio-only consumption since 2024. More than 350 million users have streamed a video podcast on our platform, a 65% increase year over year.” These figures look impressive; but Spotify only launched their big video push in Nov 2024 - and many larger video podcasters are quietly given $5,000 of advertising to kick things off, which might mean only a temporary uplift. Later, in the earnings call, Alex Norström added that “Users who watch a podcast consume 1.5x more than users who just listen”. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad herePodcast Growth & Monetization tips every Thursday! — Subscribe to the FREE Podcasting Business School newsletter and get fresh tips every Thursday for podcast growth, monetization, and online business strategies.

Everything to produce professional podcasts fast. The next version of Apple Podcasts will include “enhance dialog”, Apple announced at WWDC. But how does it sound, and what does it do? Here’s a little demo using the Podnews Daily podcast, which has music underneath it. Unlike other apps with similar features, this feature essentially removes all background noise (even music), as well as normalise voices with different volumes. The public beta is now available for you to try it out for yourself. The public beta also includes a new feature for Apple Music: “automix” tries to make songs flow together a little better, like radio stations do. Our Editor has published some examples of the mixes on his personal blog - most are nice, some are horrid. Acast released its Q2/25 financials (the full PDF is here). Sales grew by 27% to 606.7 SEK ($63.6mn); and for the first time, the US is now Acast’s largest market, with sales growing 70% in the region. However, the number of listens decreased further to 1,102mn, and the company’s operating loss has doubled to 66.3 SEK ($7mn), though part of this are one-off costs related to the change of CEO: the figures are the first under new CEO Greg Glenday. The company employs 445 people. Emily Villatte, the CFO and Deputy CEO, resigned two weeks after Glenday’s appointment; she’ll move to global games company Stillfront early next year. New keynote sessions have been announced for Podcast Movement Dallas - the award-winning Tom Webster; the excellent Aussie podcasters Toni & Ryan; and a keynote about podcast growth from Goalhanger executives.

Everything to produce professional podcasts fast. TIME has published its 100 Best Podcasts of All Time. Eliana Dockterman wrote about how she chose the list - “sorting out who can conduct an insightful interview or piece together a compelling monologue”. Good news for the UK: five of the choices are from there. However, missing from the list, suggests Barrett Media is, among others, Pod Save America, and a little-known podcaster called Joseph James Rogan. Pardon My Take from Barstool Sports wasn’t one of those chosen. They apparently, as a protest, linked to evidence that TIME hasn’t always got it right in the past. (To be fair, they were right, just not in a good way). Podcast listening continues to grow, says Edison Research’s Podcast Consumer 2025 study, and the report contains significant data about video podcasts. Over half of the US population (aged 12+) has now watched a video podcast; 37% have watched one in the last month. Since 2015, the total time spent with podcasts has grown by an astounding 355% to 773 million hours per week. Metricool has examined the social media strategies of the top podcasts. YouTube gets the most engagement rate; and successful podcasters don’t use many emojis. 🎤🚫😔 > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad hereTurkish Airlines Series Podcast — A new travel & inspiration podcast launched by Turkish Airlines.

After he leaked his earnings himself in June, it’s official - this year The Joe Budden Network has earnt more than $1mn/month on Patreon from podcasting, according to a (susbcription-needed) feature from The New York Times. The network has around 70,000 paying subscribers. Budden is the top earner on Patreon, who told us that Joe shared the level of his earnings “to make a broader point: it’s possible for creators to maintain control over their IP and audience, stay independent, and still build massive, sustainable businesses on Patreon”. The network also earns “several million” from advertising. You can support Podnews on Patreon. We don’t earn that much. How private are Apple Podcasts listening analytics? As you’d expect from Apple - very private. In a new blog post, Apple says it deliberately applies noise and minimum thresholds to protect individual user identities. What happens on iPhone stays on iPhone, as the poster said in 2019. Nielsen says that YouTube posted a new record of 12.8% of all TV usage in the US, partially driven by school-aged audiences. Netflix also benefited from this annual summer increase, reaching the #3 slot for the first time. The data is also affected by the lack of sports during June. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad herePodcast/Newsletter Content Flywheel(FREE Workshop) — This FREE 60 minute Podcasting Business School virtual workshop will teach you how to turn podcast episodes into high value newsletters and social media posts.

The Spanish public broadcaster RTVE is stifling open access by blocking podcasts from its national radio station on third-party apps. This move raises alarms about the future of RSS. Meanwhile, The New York Times explores the growing interest in video podcasts. Anecdotes reveal curious trends in audience behavior. The Telegraph highlights how podcasters are encroaching on TV territory, posing a challenge to traditional broadcasters. The evolving landscape of podcasting is filled with both restrictions and innovative opportunities.
