Acast’s Podcast Pulse highlights podcast benefits

Acast has released Podcast Pulse 2025, its second set of data into global podcast listeners, for the brands who wish to reach them. The report contains useful data for all of podcasting, and useful phrases to help explain our medium: “Podcasts are sought, not served” is a favourite of ours. Audio remains the main consumption channel for podcasts, the company says, even though more people use video podcasts than audio ones; and more people consume the ads in podcasts than on other media, including streaming music, YouTube and radio.
We’ve discovered that in MacOS 26 (released in mid September) the Apple Podcasts app got a brand new feature: the same beautiful “read-along” transcript experience that’s existed for a while for iPhone and iPad. The company supports thirteen languages for transcripts: they’re automatically generated, or you can supply your own. We’ve updated our full FAQ.
Everyone agrees that host-read ads work best on podcasts: but they’re hard to review for tone or accuracy without human beings listening to every ad to compare them to the script or to talking-points. One of the largest podcast ad platforms, RedCircle has launched Mic Check, an AI tool to give an instant quality-check for host-read ads, before the ad ever airs. The company calls it a tool for “scaling authenticity”.

Spotify adds video to Apple TV app

Spotify’s app on Apple TV didn’t, astonishingly, have any access to video podcasts: an oversight that has been fixed today: the tvOS app now includes them, more than a year after video podcasts were rolled-out to creators. The app also now includes Spotify DJ, a feature which was launched in Feb 2023. The company says the app has been entirely rewritten.
Amazon is to cut 14,000 corporate jobs, and has warned of further cuts next year. It’s yet another set of cuts for the company: just within podcasting, it had cut 110 jobs at Wondery in August; a “small number” at Wondery in March; and closed Wondery’s entire operations in Mexico and Brazil in February. The cuts were announced before affected employees were individually told; Amazon’s share price rose 1% on the news. Apparently AI will replace some of the roles, which will be lost across the business.
First look: Ankler Media will relaunch its flagship podcast tomorrow. Ankler Agenda is to be hosted by Elaine Low, who will be joined weekly by her Ankler colleagues Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey, as well as expert guests. It’s part of a renewed set of podcasts from the publisher.

Should you censor swear-words in your podcast?

We build intentional partnerships so we can devote real energy and expertise to help you grow your subscription. Podcasting is human, and your subscription team should be too.
Should you censor swear-words? The Bugle, satirical news podcast and “audio newspaper for a visual world”, published its listener survey for 2025. Among the findings - the show currently bleeps out swear-words; but the survey suggests 53.3% would support removing the bleeps.
British Airways has pulled a paid sponsorship of Louis Theroux’s podcasts. Theroux chose, as a guest, the frontman of Bobby Vylan, a punk duo who led anti-Israel chants at the Glastonbury music festival. The airline says it was politically sensitive. Earlier this year, Theroux released a television documentary interviewing both Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and members of the Israeli settler movement.
NPR has launched a weekly podcast recommendation newsletter. It’s called Pod Club and shares highlights from across the NPR network.

Acast Studios New York opens
Sponsored by Supporting Cast. Supporting Cast is a 🇨🇭 Swiss army knife for podcast subscriptions. Publish blog posts and videos, send newsletters, build a members-only community, and deliver exclusive audio — all in one place.
Acast Studios New York have officially opened. The first person to use them: one of the best-selling music artists of all time, Ariana Grande, who is on today’s episode of Shut up Evan with Evan Ross Katz. The facility - in the heart of SoHo - is a fully multimedia space with the highest-quality audio and video capabilities, plus bespoke branding opportunities, and is available for Acast creators.
We spoke with CEO Greg Glenday on the Podnews Weekly Review in September.
The Golden Globes eligibility list, announced at the beginning of this month, was actually the second top 25 list put together by Luminate, after the first one didn’t contain some of the biggest shows. That’s according to a scoop from the Like and Subscribe newsletter. Some of those eligible, the piece says, aren’t even bothering to enter.
The piece also contains screenshots of the $75,000 “Variety Creative Impact Award in Podcasting”, built to promote a podcast to judges in a “For Your Consideration” event. (Pensky Media owns Variety, Luminate, and the Golden Globes).
Joe Budden, who is not on the eligibility list, is to highlight the Golden Globes on his podcast over the weekend - making the point that industry awards “continue to overlook successful, independent Black creators”. He’ll also take out some billboards in West Hollywood, with Patreon, to highlight the issue.
Triton Digital released its US podcast ranker for September. It shows a dramatic rise for The Charlie Kirk Show in the month, up to #3. The list measures participating publishers only.
Edison Research digs a little deeper into The Charlie Kirk Show’s audience growth, noting that much of the growth occurred after Kirk’s death on Sep 10.

Where to promote movies for the ears?
Sponsored by Supporting Cast. Supporting Cast is a 🇨🇭 Swiss army knife for podcast subscriptions. Publish blog posts and videos, send newsletters, build a members-only community, and deliver exclusive audio — all in one place.
Podcasts can be movies for the ears - so CurtCo promoted their sci-fi series Solar to movie-goers in the cinema for much of last month. There were trailers played on the big screen - and movie posters in the lobby - at all locations of Maya Cinemas.
Luxurist magazine, an up-market magazine in the UK, has placed six South Asian podcasters on the front cover of its latest issue. Veena Nayyar, Preeti, Smita Joshi, Resham Ahdan, Angelee Sidhar and Sangeeta Pillai are featured: “British South Asian women are seizing the mic, not to shout over the noise but to create meaningful conversation.”
In the UK, France, Belgium, Québec and Sweden the International Podcast Alliance has been launched - an industry body “uniting professional organisations representing podcast and audio producers, businesses and publishers globally.” The initiative will respond to common challenges including legal recognition, fair platform practices, access to public funding, and a fragmented ecosystem.

New multi-track recorder from Zoom
Sponsored by Supporting Cast. Supporting Cast is a 🇨🇭 Swiss army knife for podcast subscriptions. Publish blog posts and videos, send newsletters, build a members-only community, and deliver exclusive audio — all in one place.
Just in time for Christmas, Zoom (the audio equipment manufacturer) is to launch the Zoom PodTrak P4next, a portable XLR multitrack recorder with “AI noise reduction”, compression and tone shaping. Here’s a demo video. It’s marked as “coming soon” on B&H for $179.99. We’ve not had a press release for it, but it appears to have been announced yesterday.
Already got a nice recorder, but want your studio to be less echoey? GIK Acoustics have released a new set of acoustic treatment panels for studios, including bass traps and corner traps. The panels have new patterns and a choice of material colours.
Don’t need acoustic panels? Don’t want a recorder? Still keen on spending some money somehow? Consider becoming a Podnews supporter and paying for everyone to access Podnews.
In the UK, Global ran its first-ever Audio & Entertainment Upfronts, highlighting the arrival of Global Studios, the launch of a new sports entertainment division, and a new podcast from Emily Maitlis. The company also launched Global:IQ, a data and effectiveness platform to “bring together first-party data, advanced analytics, and AI-driven creative optimisation tools”.
