Sam and James's week

- Podcasting is a mainstream media in Australia, the US and UK with over 50% of people listening to a podcast every month in each country. Our time and attention is limited so what other media is declining? - YouTube is the main access point for news podcasts in the US.   - Why are more users willing to pay for ad-free quality digital content (behind paywalls)? What does this mean for the future of advertising if the people who can afford to pay for ad-free content are the same people advertisers want to reach? - Why are "Downloads decreasing for many podcasts" but podcast listen/watch time is growing?   - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/youtube/">YouTube</a> CEO <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/neal-mohan/">Neal Mohan</a> spoke at Cannes Lions this week and unsurprisingly he said "people don’t want to just listen”. More worryingly, he also spoke about a new form of branded commercial advertising for podcasts. Will this be more like uninterruptible TV commercials? Finally James has launched <a href="https://podnews.net/extras">https://podnews.net/extras</a> and Sam has submitted a native version of TrueFans to the Apple &amp; Google stores.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1538779/open_sms">Send James &amp; Sam a message</a><a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support">Support the show</a>Connect With Us: <ul> <li>Email: <a href="mailto:weekly@podnews.net">weekly@podnews.net</a> </li> <li>Fediverse: <a href="https://podcastindex.social/@james@bne.social">@james@bne.social</a> and <a href="https://podcastindex.social/@samsethi">@samsethi@podcastindex.social</a> </li> <li>Support us: <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support">www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support</a> </li> <li>Get Podnews: <a href="https://podnews.net">podnews.net</a> </li> </ul>
