RD 005: Stitcher sold, the New Media Europe Conference and a major Blubrry PowerPress update

This week I give a final update on the New Media Europe Conference which takes place on the 16th and 17th of June 2016 in London. I talk about the release of version 7 of the Blubrry Powerpress plugin and discuss the sale of Stitcher to Scripps and their plans to integrate the Stitcher business into Midroll Media.  As usual I include a few podcasting statistics that might surprise you, including some figures on the number of companies advertising on the top podcasts.
