Joe Budden’s Patreon earnings
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.
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.

Massive size, and growth, of podcasting revealed
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.
With exclusive data today from Edison Research, Podnews can reveal the massive - and growing - size of the US podcasting industry - and a suggestion for a new metric for podcasting to express its growth over the next twenty years. Metrics can demonstrate our size, or help us understand our revenue potential: this new metric, perhaps, helps us do both.
Audioboom has acquired the UK podcast network Adelicious. The combination of the businesses will create the UK’s largest homegrown podcast network with 40mn unique listeners, and more than 125mn monthly downloads and views. Adelicious will continue as a brand.
Apple Podcasts announced better, more granular listening reports within Apple Podcasts Connect. The reports are only available for channels that offer paid subscriptions, but now includes a unique count of listeners per channel for the first time.

Custom sound design is the thing that sets premium podcasts apart. That’s the view of Joshua Suhy, writing for Podnews today - with case studies of shows that benefited from a proper look at how the sound design worked.
Even radio now has visuals in new dashboards. Pierre Bouvard, writing in the Cumulus Media and Westwood One blog, highlights some of the benefits of using visuals in audio advertising, using a number of studies. (We can use visuals in many podcast apps for podcast chapters; and, of course, on our YouTube videos). Pierre also shares this fun fact from Nielsen: “Half the time, TV ads are heard, not seen.”

Buzzsprout Magic Mastering adds more magic
Sponsored by Riverside. Create studio-quality podcasts, anywhere. Riverside is your all-in-one platform for professional podcast creation, with remote high-quality recording, editing, and publishing. Trusted by top creators worldwide.
Buzzsprout has, ah, added some sort of new tools to, er, its Magic Mastering tool. The tool now has “filler killer”, a tool that “cautiously detects and removes filler words”, and “power clean”, a tool you can manually turn on when required that can remove complex noises like chatter, wind, traffic, or reverb.
We gave it a copy of the Podnews Weekly Review, which Buzzsprout sponsor, and turned on “filler killer”. It turns out that it shaved more than three minutes thirty seconds of “ums” and “ahs” from our original hour-long show; and the ums it removed weren’t audible. (There’s are a few examples in our daily podcast today). We’ll, um, you know, turn it on, then, tomorrow.
Podscribe released its industry rankings for July 2025. Crime Junkie is still the #1 podcast, it says, with 8.1 million listeners; Toyota is the new #2 podcast advertiser, behind BetterHelp.
Higher Ed PodCon, a higher education podcasters’ conference this weekend in Chicago IL, USA, has more than 150 registrations, representing over a hundred universities. “It's shaping up to be an inspiring day of conversation and connection that reflects just how much momentum there is around podcasting in higher education,” we’re told.
