What shows would you recommend to anyone?
Depends who and what they like already
The people who are sending my moirail all those cucumber asks? Veggietales
People who are interested in children's shows? Mia and me, Bluey, Ducktales (modern), Steven Universe, Moomin tbh
More into anime? Probably Death Note, The Secret of the Cerulean Sand, tbh been a while since I watched Chobits, it's definitely a bit lewd but it's funny so depending on the person that's a maybe, Smile Precure, Samurai Pizza Cats I think it's called? I haven't watched it but I took a javascript course online and the teacher used the english intro in any and all tasks where a video was involved. And I watched a little deep dive vid on it
Looking for something more mature yet still fun? Bingeworthy mayhaps? The Librarians, Camp Camp, Doctor Who, Good Omens , Bob's Burgers
Oh and if you're up for something a bit more absurd? BBC Ghosts or Yonderland
But this'd be way easier if I knew who was asking :P

Erupts from: Ethel
Fatness of that's earth, grounded
Come forth thine's dew of heaven
Delightfully chosen to give life
Gasp of fresh air struck oblivion
This wholly answer was His right
Graciously given the morning
To start a freshly given strike
Without hinder amongst temple
Shirley's giggle is lone painted
The drying are glamour afterpraise
A beauty to that's broken but..
Still alive to an awareness.
Unraveling a ponder
Christ still alive, as always.
A notion that is known as livings
At over side affections
Provoke the posed ivy
The embrace, pout putting
An element as humbled
Lift your heart even when..
Incompletes practice
Erupts.

Hot Pod Goes Cold; Substack & Spotify Team Up; IAB’s Digital Advertising Report
Podnews reported lastweek that Hot Pod, one of the longest-running newsletters about podcasting, is to suspend publishing. Lead reporter Ariel Shapiro has announced that her last week with its owner, The Verge, will be next week. Deputy Editor Jake Kastrenakes added: “We won’t have a new writer in place by next week, so we’re planning to put Hot Pod on hiatus while we figure out next steps.”
The publication’s writers, Ariel Shapiro, Ashley Carman, and Nick Quah, have been a vital part of the industry since 2014 and Podnews reported that "Hot Pod inspired them to produce this daily newsletter in 2017."
I'd like to start a campaign to convince The Verge to hire one of these three people to take over Hot Pod. All three are tremendously talented and know podcasting
The three are Arielle Nissenblatt, Wil Williams, and Samantha Hodder.
First, Arielle Nissenblatt is well-known and highly regarded in podcasting circles. In today's fragmented media world, there are TikTok celebrities, Instagram influencers, and YouTube stars who are unknown outside their media universe. If you've been involved in podcasting in any way over the last few years, you know Arielle Nissenblatt.
"I've been working in the podcast space since early 2017 when I started a podcast recommendation newsletter called EarBuds Podcast Collective,"Arielle notes. "Since then, I've managed podcast studios, worked as an in-app curator, gone to school for audio production, produced several podcasts, run successful marketing and PR campaigns for several dozen shows, have organized podcast communities on Twitter, Discord, and Slack, and much more."
Arielle confesses to "love working in and around audio because it's my favorite way to consume content. I want to help more people find their next favorite podcast."
Arielle is the founder of EarBuds Podcast Collective, a podcast recommendation newsletter. She is on the community team at Descript, an AI-powered video and audio editing software service. She hosts three podcasts, Trailer Park: The Podcast Trailer Podcast, Feedback with EarBuds and Daily Tips That May or May Not Help You with Arielle and Ned.
Then we have Wil Williams, who is currently a marketing specialist for Tink Media. Williams has written for Discover Pods, Polygon, Vulture, and The Takeout. She has appeared on KQED's Forum, WAMU's 1A, Slate's ICYMI; has cried listening to Wolf 359's "Memoria" at least five times.
Williams is also the CEO of Podcast Problems LLC (If you have a podcast, you have problems), and you should read her website if you are a podcaster. You can read her articles there, including Your Podcast Needs Better Show Notes, Your Podcast Needs Better Metadata and my favorite, How I Know So Much Shit.
Williams also writes and manages the Substack Podcast Marketing Magic. When it comes to podcast journalism, Wil Williams is one of the very best.
Then we have Samantha Hodder, who is a multihypenate -- someone who does several different jobs in the entertainment industry—and does them well. Her Substack newsletter Bingeworthy is the mother ship for narrative podcast opinion, review, trends, and analysis. Hodder began the newsletter in September 2022 and has already amassed an impressive following.
Samantha is an award-winning audio producer and writer. She has been making media across multiple formats for over two decades. She publishes regularly on Mediumand on Substack. Her narrative storytelling podcast This is Our Time launched in 2017. It is a memoir-based story about an all-women’s expedition to Antarctica for women. Season 2 was featured in the Hot Docs Podcast Festival in 2021. She works as a freelance podcast producer, editor and narration script advisor. This year, she began to teach and mentor students at TMU and OCADU in narrative podcasting.
She also works with other writers and creatives one-on-one to help them find a winning narrative structure for their projects. To see if this approach could be helpful to your work, find her free 5-day email course Find Your Fish, which draws on lessons from screenwriting, podcasting, journaling and mindful meditation.
Over the last two decades her writing has appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines and her interactive work has premiered at festivals internationally. She was the recipient of the Al Waxman Calling Card for her first documentary, The Mantelpiece, which was broadcast on TVOntario, and premiered at the Big Sky Documentary Festival in 2004. Her short film The Nothingness That Is Everything opened in Venice, Italy in 2018.
And if all this information doesn't persuade you, Samantha is from Canada.
So I ask The Verge to consider these three talented women for the role at Hot Pod. This esteemed publication deserves a person with a deep knowledge of podcasting and a lifelong passion for audio.
**********************************************
Before I extol the virtues of this latest collaboration between Substack and Spotify, I must confess that I am a little wary. Spotify entered podcasting in earnest four years ago, and since then has created an industry-wide asset bubble that since has burst, purchased accomplished podcast studios like Parcast and Gimlet and dismantled them with no remorse, and produced and released a lot of crap.
So, we'll see how this goes.
Podcasters on Substack are collectively earning more than $100 million in annual revenue, a number that has more than doubled in the past year. The number of active podcasters on the platform has also more than doubled in the same time span.
And it’s not just that new opportunities are available to podcasters bringing their shows to Substack—it’s benefiting existing Substack publications too. Those writers and creators who have added audio and/or video to their Substacks grow their revenue more than 2.5 times as fast as those who haven’t.
Substack makes it dead simple for anyone to independently create, publish, distribute, grow, and monetize a show.
“We used to have two different feeds, one for our paying subscribers and one for everyone to listen to free shows,” says @Alex Kirshner, a host of @Split Zone Duo, the biggest sports
podcast on Substack. “We were looking for a way to put everything under one roof and make the experience as easy as possible for the people who pay us for our work. Moving to Substack from Patreon has let us do that and been very, very good for our growth in not
even half a year.”
**************************************************
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) empowers the media and marketing industries to thrive in the digital economy. Its membership comprises more than 700 leading media companies, brands, agencies, and the technology firms responsible for selling, delivering, and optimizing digital ad marketing campaigns. The trade group fields critical research on interactive advertising, while also educating brands, agencies, and the wider business community on the importance of digital marketing.
I know that's a mouthful, but the IAB holds an annual in-person and virtual meeting introducing new podcasts from some of the largest podcast networks.
The IAB's report on advertising revealed that digital advertising revenues reached a record-high of $225 billion, increasing by 7.3% year-over-year overall (YoY) between 2022 and 2023, according to the newly released “IAB Internet Advertising Revenue Report: Full Year 2023,” conducted by PwC.
The report found that Q4 saw the highest growth rate of 12.3% from the year prior (4.4%), with revenues rising to $64.5 billion.
“Despite inflation fears, interest rates at record highs, and continuing global unrest, the U.S. digital advertising industry continued its growth trajectory in 2023,” said David Cohen, CEO, IAB. “With significant industry transformation unfolding right before our eyes, we believe that those channels with a portfolio of privacy by design solutions will continue to outpace the market. For 2023, the winners were retail media, CTV, and audio, which saw the highest growth.”
Audio advertising also saw a robust expansion, growing 18.9% to reach $7 billion. It is still the fastest-growing channel, albeit at a slower pace than last year.
I know that most podcast fans have little interest in advertising trends and finances, but ads pay the bills for many podcasts.

With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.

BingeWorthy: Exploring the OTT Content Landscape
The OTT (Over-the-Top) content market has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, transforming the entertainment industry and revolutionizing the way we consume media. OTT refers to the delivery of audio, video, and other media content over the internet, bypassing traditional distribution channels like cable or satellite television. This market has gained immense popularity due to its convenience, flexibility, and diverse range of content offerings.
OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Hulu have emerged as major players, attracting millions of subscribers worldwide. These platforms offer a vast library of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and original content, catering to diverse interests and preferences. The success of OTT platforms can be attributed to their personalized recommendations, on-demand streaming capabilities, and the ability to access content anytime, anywhere, on various devices. Additionally, the rise of original content production by OTT platforms has led to a surge in high-quality, critically acclaimed shows that rival traditional television networks and attract top talent from the film and television industry.
The OTT content market is highly competitive, with new players constantly entering the scene. Traditional media companies and broadcasters are also jumping on the bandwagon by launching their own OTT platforms to stay relevant in the evolving landscape. Furthermore, advancements in technology, such as the widespread availability of high-speed internet and the proliferation of smart devices, have contributed to the rapid growth of the market. As the demand for OTT content continues to rise, we can expect to see further innovation, expansion, and disruption in the industry, with a focus on enhancing user experience, leveraging data analytics, and exploring new business models to capture and retain subscribers.Read More: https://thetechnologynews-24.blogspot.com/2023/06/streamflix-unleashing-world-of-online.html
