That's one of the findings of a new piece of research: The Podcast Atlas by Sounds Profitable, which gets covered in a free webinar this Wednesday. The data also covers the benefits of podcast newsletters (not this one) - which "create direct, owned relationships that are independent of platform algorithms. Among newsletter subscribers, 87% said podcast newsletters lead them to listen to episodes". We also learn that audio and video listeners demonstrated nearly identical episode completion rates. The winners of the Scottish Podcast Awards were announced. The Podcast of the Year went to comedy show The Ford & Shelby Show. iHeartMedia announced an expanded relationship with Amazon Ads. iHeartMedia customers can now leverage Amazon DSP; iHeart is also a local reseller of its audio and video inventory. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad hereFREE Content Collaboration session for podcasters. — Looking to be a guest or find guests?
