• Exclusive: Two million Australians listen to podcasts daily, according to a new survey: PodPoll 24, which will be fully revealed tomorrow. The data, from Deadset Studios and Insightfully, contains a lot of useful data about the types of show people want to hear, and also reveals:
  • Two in five people (44%) sample new shows every month.
  • Apple Podcasts has slumped to third “preferred podcast app” in the country, after Spotify (58%) and YouTube (30%).
• Blubrry has launched Pod2Vid, a tool that converts podcasts into video - perfect for uploading to video platforms. The tool is available to all users on the Thrive bundle. It comes after the launch of Vid2Pod in March.
