Learn more Fiction podcasts are rarely served well by existing podcast apps - which is where Bard comes in: a new podcast player just for audio drama. Significantly expanded categories, a focus on human-generated shows, better episode navigation, and a clearer link to Patreon and Ko-fi links to help creators produce self-sustaining work. It's free on the Apple App Store and on the web - and Android is coming soon. Sorry - we're told fans of Joe Rogan will be disappointed. Freakonomics Radio published a new episode focusing on podcasting - particularly, "the strange economics of this thing we do". Guests include Will Page, the former Chief Economist at Spotify; Jeanine Wright, formerly of Inception Point AI; and Jenna Weiss-Berman from Paper Kite Productions (who refers to Inception Point AI as "the devil"). Meanwhile, Podcast Advertising Playbook interviews Christiana Brenton from Steven Bartlett's Steven.com about the rise of the creative entrepreneur. (When we listened to Freakonomics Radio, from a Brisbane IP address, we very much enjoyed the selection of ads intended for Ireland.) The Ankler posted its inaugural Future of Entertainment 25 - a list of the people "reshaping the rules of the entertainment business". YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, TikTok and Roblox make it to the top platforms (no Apple, then?); UK podcast company Goalhanger also makes an appearance. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.
