Sam and James's week

Our special guest this week is <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayaprohovnik/">Maya Prohovnik</a>, VP and Head of Podcast Products at <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/spotify/">Spotify</a>, who joins <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamescridland/">James Cridland</a> to share insights on Spotify's latest innovations and what’s next for podcasters on the platform. Meanwhile, industry leaders <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dangranger/">Dan Granger</a> (Oxford Road) and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danmisener/">Dan Misener</a> (Bumper) have advocated for an Open Measurement Protocol for Podcasting—a call for interoperable, privacy-conscious standards and a unified taxonomy across platforms. In response, “friend of the show” John Spurlock joins <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/samsethi/">Sam Sethi</a> to introduce his proposed solution: Standard Podcast Consumption (SPC). This new data exchange format aims to facilitate the sharing of first-party metrics like Follower Count, Total Listener Time, and more between apps and hosting providers. James and I also review the hottest podcast news from this week. You can support this show by streaming SATs.
