From our daily newsletter, the latest from podnews.net with Central Talent Booking. In Vulture, Nick Quah has written a full piece about video podcasting and whether video will kill the audio star in 2025. Some people he interviews make the case for enhanced discovery on video platforms, but others point out a gender bias. Men just turn up, they say, but women are expected to be camera ready, as a quick check between Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper will point
out. It's a thoughtful piece, worth a read today. You'll find it linked from our show notes and our newsletter at podnews.net. Please stop asking Alex Goldman to work with PJ Vogt again. They will not work again in the future, says Goldman, who would prefer you to listen to The Thing I Want to Make instead. A new podcast aimed at demystifying podcasting 2.0 launches today. Claire Waite Brown explains new feature by new feature, how the enhancements to the podcast standards work.
