In Case You (Were Podcasting and) Missed It

💡 We knew this all along, but now brands are figuring out that they can benefit from podcast ad spend.

📊 Pay attention to the data. Sounds Profitable offers five podcast consumption stats that you need to know.

🤖 Content is still king for marketers. And, yes, AI is playing a big role in content creation. Be nice to the bots so they're kind to you when they become self-aware.

🏆 Podcasting has no age requirements. NPR has a list of award-winning podcasters in the fourth grade.

🎙️ The Guardian has a few picks for its best podcasts of the week. See if any resonate.


The Lighter Side

We're still having some fun with the image generation capabilities of Google's AI Test Kitchen. This is what AI thinks of a lonely podcaster. Is the guy in distress because he's waiting for an important call on that sweet rotary phone? Is it a call-in show with no participants? Is he flustered because he doesn't know how the old school phone works?

If this in any way reminds you of your own podcasting efforts it might be a good idea to change your approach.
