Promoting Google on podcasts

Working on an ad campaign for a client? Acast’s Ross Adams shows off how they helped promote the Google Pixel.
Before Christmas, some Megaphone customers saw a significant decrease in download numbers. “Something seems off”, one told us, “...and I can’t get a straight answer as to why.” The company has now sent a message to users saying that they’d found a bug; and that it’s fixed - affected dates are Nov 21 to Jan 13. Payouts were unaffected.
It’s emerged that one of those laid-off by TuneIn this week was Steve Gaysinskiy, who was responsible for maintaining TuneIn’s integrations with different partners. It was the latest in a series of unreported layoffs at the company, which still offers a podcast directory in spite of not accepting new shows since February last year.

What happens when you sell a podcast? Writing for Podnews, Tanner Campbell explains how he sold his podcast by accident - and his mistakes and lessons along the way.
Podcasts have done many things, but is this the first time they have named a moon? Quasi-moons were documented on WNYC’s Radiolab last year, and in May, Radiolab and the International Astronomical Union launched a contest that would enable a Radiolab listener to name one of Earth’s quasi-moons. The winning name is Cardea, the Roman goddess of thresholds, transitional spaces, and, um, door hinges.

How big are serialised podcasts - shows you need to start at the first episode, and listen to the last? Bumper looks at how they interact with each other, and how you might market a serialised show by reaching audiences that already listen to them - or, listen to shows that are similar.
Podtrac released its US rankers for December 2024. Almost all publishers saw a decline in traffic, as is normal. Acast leapt from #5 to #3, but the company releases its data after its quarterly financial reports, so while everyone else is reporting on December, the Acast numbers are for October (and are actually unchanged month-on-month). NPR News Now returned to #1 podcast; two shows from SiriusXM are new in the podcast charts, though SiriusXM isn’t listed in the publishers chart.
