Another exclusive for Spotify

In this week's Podnews Weekly Review with Buzzsprout, Sam Sethi interviews Jay LeBoeuf from Descript, after the launch of a new version of the editing software and another funding round.

  • Spotify has signed another exclusive: Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain, described as one of the world’s most listened-to podcasts, will be exclusive on Spotify early next year. The deal includes video podcasts. The show was with UTA and Cadence13's Ramble Podcast Network, and is another loss for owner Audacy which is threatened with stock market de-listing.
  • The Infinite Dial New Zealand was published by Edison Research. 39% of adults in the country are monthly podcast listeners, placing them (just) above the US. 30% are weekly podcast listeners; and radio continues to do particularly well in the country.

  • Dan Misener at Bumper has looked at the new topics that Apple Podcasts is automatically allocating to shows (see our coverage on Nov 15, including our topics viewer). He's produced a number of network maps, designed to show links between different shows; and produced episode topic maps for every category in Apple Podcasts.

Podcast News

  • From CBC Podcasts #8 is: The Secret Life of Canada A podcast about the beautiful, terrible and weird histories of the 'Great White North'. 'The truth behind the boy in the picture' investigates one of the most referenced images connected to Canada's Residential School system. It's an episode worth listening to, no matter where you call home.
  • My Spouse Has Dementia is produced by Zita Christian, who started podcasting at 69 and is now 75. The show uses personal stories, occasional interviews, and simple rituals to support dementia caregiving spouses. Here's a separate post-produced short piece, My Alzheimer's Secret, which is worth a listen.
  • What do you do when you have audio you don't know what to do with? Launch a new podcast.
