(This description mostly by Buzzsprout's CoHost AI) Are you ready to get the inside scoop on the world of podcasting? We're shedding light on the closure of Stitcher, a pioneering podcast app, and its ripple effects, particularly on listeners outside the US. We're venturing back to the app's beginnings, and its unique user experience. Sirius XM's future plans for the Stitcher brand also feature in our conversation.  In the same breath, we turn our sights to the evolution of podcast advertising. Acast's new self-service platform is on the agenda, as is an in-depth analysis of Max Cutler's candid insights on the future of podcasting and his appeal for more resourceful shows. We're also highlighting the latest data on podcast consumption, with statistics from Australia, legal developments in New Zealand, and fresh research from Spain.  Our discourse further extends to the latest events in the industry, featuring everything from MediaCorp's podcast talent hunt in Singapore to Daniel Ek's new role at Spotify. We won't leave out the exciting news on upcoming podcast awards.
