Ever considered what your attention is worth when you indulge in the latest podcast episode? You might just find out as we compare the value of podcast content with the likes of Netflix and Spotify, suggesting a fair satoshi range that listeners could shell out per minute of audio bliss. With podcasting's landscape constantly shifting, we're joined by Edward Brawer, CEO of Podcast AI, to delve into how automation and AI tools are spicing up content creation and answering listener queries with flair. Fountain's co-founder, Oscar Merry, also drops by to share the exciting new updates of the Fountain 1.0 app, which promises to elevate user experience and listener engagement to new heights.
In our conversation with Edward, we unearth the prospect of B2B opportunities within the bustling podcast business, discussing the recent expansion moves by Podcast AI and the potential of pre-production support using AI technology. On the flip side, we're also looking into Spotify's foray into audiobooks and how their latest venture might shape the industry's future. Plus, we give a hat tip to Kate Cocker's "Everyday Positivity" for her 2000th episode and her charitable efforts with UNICEF, and we travel the world in a round-up of global podcast happenings—from Adalicious's new US representation to the rise of erotic podcasts in Germany.
Wrapping up, we tackle the evolution of podcasting tools with updates on Activity Pub support, Blueberry's Value Block Time Splits, and Libsyn's commitment to Podcasting 2.0. As we recount the year's predictions and set our sights on the future, we leave you with a treasure trove of insights to mull over during our short break. Remember, the Weekly Review is just around the corner, so stay tuned for the freshest scoop on the podcasting realm. Join us for this episode that's bursting at the seams with innovation, inspiration, and a good measure of introspection.
