<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1538779/open_sms">Send James &amp; Sam a message</a>In this episode, James Cridland reports from West Hollywood about Spotify&apos;s major &quot;Now Playing&quot; event, where the company announced significant changes including rebranding Spotify for Podcasters to Spotify for Creators. The platform unveiled a new partner program allowing creators to earn money from both audio and video content, with specific eligibility requirements that appear more stringent than YouTube&apos;s criteria. The show features an insightful interview with Matt Campion from Spirit Studios about their IP 360 strategy, which focuses on creating multi-platform content across podcasting, video, and television. Campion discusses how the industry&apos;s shift away from traditional TV commissioning has led them to focus on building digital-first projects that can later be developed into data-led TV series. The hosts also explore Samsung&apos;s decision to shut down its podcast app, Chris Wallace&apos;s departure from CNN to pursue opportunities in streaming and podcasting, and interesting developments in podcast technology, including new tools for audience surveys and changes in how platforms label the subscribe/follow button. The episode concludes with a discussion about the shifting social media landscape as creators move away from Twitter/X toward platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support">Support the show</a>Connect With Us: <ul> <li>Email: <a href='mailto:weekly@podnews.net'>weekly@podnews.net</a> </li> <li>Fediverse: <a href='https://podcastindex.social/@james@bne.social'>@james@bne.social</a> and <a href='https://podcastindex.social/@samsethi'>@samsethi@podcastindex.social</a> </li> <li>Support us: <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support'>www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support</a> </li> <li>Get Podnews: <a href='https://podnews.net'>podnews.net</a> </li> </ul> Full interviews at https://extra.podnews.net/
