From our daily newsletter, the latest from podnews.net with Podcast Movement. The Fracture to Flourish podcast, a podcast focusing on foster youth aging out of the system, is taking its show on the road, literally, with a wrapped trailer journeying 1,800 miles across the US. We've more pictures from along Route 66, including Nashville and the road to Amarillo, and you'll find them linked from our show notes and our newsletter at podnews.net.
Sounds Profitable released its latest research into the advertising landscape, focusing on attention and trust. The report shows that podcasts top the charts for audience trust in both content and advertising, with listeners more likely to view them as accurate, credible and free from misleading claims. And nearly half of podcast listeners say the advertising they hear feels authentic and natural, a key differentiator from social media and traditional spots.
The study is a free download. African Business write about what they call the unrelenting rise of video podcasts in Kenya, which contains analysis of some of the biggest shows in the country. Heritage Radio Network and Food FM have announced a content sharing agreement for food and drink shows, which it's claimed is the first transatlantic partnership for the genre.
Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, which was removed from Spotify after he called for Dr. Anthony Fauci's beheading, is back on the platform. After an almost five-year ban, the show had remained on Apple Podcasts and the Podcast Index. It self-hosts. Apple, by the way, is now able to remove specific episodes from its directory, but it wasn't back in 2020. It's the turn of platform media to suffer a phishing incident, just weeks after Acast suffered one.

In People News, Blubrry CEO Todd Cochrane celebrated his birthday yesterday.
Cochrane literally wrote the book on podcasting in 2005. It was called Podcasting the Do-It-Yourself Guide, in which he appears using a fancy microphone and a Sony VAIO and shows how to find podcasts on Podcast Alley, where his show was number five in the world. We'll link two pages from that book.
And happy birthday, Todd. And in podcast news, in what's a podcast, the revolution redefined, Dan Granger sits down with Ira Glass talking about serial promotion and whether video has a place in podcasts. Is Ira for video or against it? You'll have to find out by downloading the podcast yourself. Podcast studio Q-Code and Hit Podcast and That's Why We Drink have launched the Parapods Network, a new podcast network dedicated to celebrating and elevating creators across genres.
The flagship launch show is Ladies and Tangents. In OP said, this week you'll find three real-life best friends tear into Reddit's wildest dilemmas with judgment-heavy, emotionally sharp debates. Fiercely authentic and female-led, it's a brutally honest gossip group chat on everything from cheating confessions to toxic work meltdowns. No wonder they've built a cult following across TikTok and YouTube since launching last year.
And Christian Testimony podcast Compelled is now airing on American family radio stations, more than 170 radio stations across 34 states of the United States. It runs Sundays, 2 to 3 Central Time, reaching half a million people. We're told the show is currently re-editing older episodes to fit the exact radio time length and selling their own radio ads. And this podcast is sponsored by Podcast Movement. The 12th annual Podcast Movement is returning to Dallas, Texas later this year.
On August the 18th to the 21st, it'll be uniting creators, industry experts and professionals from across the globe for the podcast industry's premier event. I'll be there. Will you be there too?
