When trying to take stock of your podcast network’s numbers, it can be irritating logging into multiple platforms across the internet to put all your consumption data together. A new service called Podstock has launched, to give one view of that data, for shows and networks. CEO and co-founder Michael Paretzky, who led podcast analytics and strategy at Audacy, writes that he hopes the podcast industry can become more efficient with the tool. Podcasthon started last weekend, with more than 1,700 shows signed up to do a special episode for a charity or cause. There’s a big list on their website, and it runs until Friday. It’s the third year for Podcasthon, and its biggest ever. How many downloads does a popular branded podcast, which earns more than $100,000 in ad revenue, get?

According to Gen Z podcast fans (13-28 year-olds), video is skibidi and audio is slay - they overwhelmingly prefer audio podcasts, according to a new survey from podcast hosting company Transistor. 76% primarily listen to audio podcasts, with 18% consuming a mix of audio and video, and just 6% primarily watching video podcasts, according to the global survey. Transistor also finds that Spotify is the most-used podcast app for Gen Z (56%), with YouTube at 21% and Apple Podcasts at 10%. This mirrors findings in separate studies from Morning Consult and music apps in Edison Research’s Infinite Dial last year. Speaking of which: The Infinite Dial® 2025 will be revealed on Mar 20 in a free webinar, hosted by Edison Research’s Megan Lazovick and Podnews’s Editor, James Cridland. Apple announced podcast transcriptions within Apple Podcasts just over a year ago, and the company says it has now completed creating transcripts for all previously published episodes across the 13 supported languages. That means that more than 100 million episodes in Apple Podcasts have transcripts now available. (The company also allows creators to supply their own transcripts, if preferred). Leave the laptop at home - Zoom has released the PodTrak P2, a portable recorder for USB microphones. The product includes background noise reduction, and contains a built-in dynamic compressor.

Sign up for a free 7-day trial. Pocket Casts has opened its web player to everyone. You don’t need an account to listen - here’s our daily podcast to try it out. You can also download Mac and Windows desktop apps, too - and if you sign in, you can rate shows and store your favourites, and keep tabs of what you’ve listened-to (which syncs to the app, too). Until now, it was behind a paywall, and only available to Pocket Casts Plus users. The company’s press release includes significant promotion of the benefits of open RSS. “The future of podcasting shouldn’t be locked behind walled gardens,” it says; “podcasts belong to the people, not corporations,” adding that “Podcasting is one of the last open corners of the internet, and we’re here to keep it that way.” We’re linking to the Pocket Casts web player from our podcast pages, like this for The Joe Rogan Experience. One way to link programmatically is to use the Apple iTunes ID, like https://pca.st/itunes/1325018583 - this will also open the Pocket Casts app if it’s installed on mobile. The Pocket Casts web player is not (yet?) optimised for mobile, and doesn’t show transcripts. An Apple Podcasts web player was launched last year - and while it, too, doesn’t show transcripts, it works flawlessly on mobile: especially when installed as an app on Android. As the number of podcasters, producers and students from across higher education get involved in podcasting, the HigherEd PodCon has been announced.

How much can you earn by switching your podcast to Spotify’s new video podcast partner program? One company did - and actually lost nearly $1,000 in January after switching to Spotify video, Amanda McLoughlin posts on LinkedIn. To use video on Spotify, she explains, publishers need to agree for their RSS feed to be replaced by a Spotify-hosted video file (used even if listeners only consume the audio track): so one show lost more than half its revenue because it was unable to sell dynamic audio ads to Spotify listeners (ironically, though Spotify’s Audience Network). The Spotify Partner Program is “an untested program with secretive math”, concludes McLoughlin: “the risk just isn’t worth it”.

How powerful are live podcasts? Goalhanger’s The Rest is Politics and The Rest is Politics: US both ran special live shows after the White House exchange between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The live YouTube events, reposted in audio on podcast apps, have already delivered more than two million listeners and viewers in just four days, says Goalhanger. A social media clip has already gained another 1.6 million views. Worth also mentioning that Podcasting 2.0 enables podcasts to broadcast live directly into podcast apps (with notifications when you go live, too). iVoox has announced integration with Spotify Open Access. It allows podcasters to distribute their exclusive premium content to Spotify. The company’s advertising offerings are now also in Publiespaña’s commercial catalogue, making it easier for advertisers to find and book specific iVoox shows. Over 50% of clicks from Linkfire led to podcast plays for Lemonada Media, according to a case study from the company.
