The world's largest podcast agency! From Stockholm Airport, the latest from podnews.net, with Soundstack earning more programmatic revenue. Oxford Road and Veritone One are to combine to form the world's largest podcast agency. For now, both companies will continue to trade independently.

Podcast of the year went to All Good Things Come in Threes, or at least that's the English translation. It's a comedy podcast hosted by Acast. The day also included Power of Sound, an event for advertisers, and Güldorat's Conference for Audio Creators. I spoke at both of those events.

This appears to have been a fault at YouTube's end.
All affected episodes have now been ingested correctly.
