Are you ready to tackle the controversial topic of gaslighting in the podcast industry? This week, we discuss the actions of major players like Google, Apple, and Spotify, and examine their lack of support for the wider podcast community. We also share our thoughts on the recent Podcast Show in London and the disappointment surrounding YouTube's RSS ingest trial.

We don't shy away from discussing the inadequate financial support provided by big names like Apple and Spotify. Join us as we question Apple's secretive approach to supporting events and their reluctance to provide API access for content creators. We also dive into the role of the Podcast Standards Group and their lack of action in challenging these issues and promoting diversity within the industry.

Finally, we explore the transformative potential of AI in podcasting, with a focus on Ausha's AI-powered platform and Buzzsprout's Co-host AI feature. Learn about the benefits of AI-generated titles, descriptions, and chapter markers, as well as the importance of partnering with third-party companies for these services. Don't miss this insightful episode as we navigate the complex landscape of the podcast industry and share our thoughts on these pressing issues.
