3 Big Changes Every Podcaster Needs to Know This Week

What do Hollywood awards, AI tools, and podcast data have in common? They’re all changing the game. Today, we jump into the Golden Globes’ new “Best Podcast” category and why many insiders are calling it a cash grab. We unpack Oxford Road’s report showing niche shows outperforming big names and what that means for indie creators. We also highlight new tech shaking up production, including Riverside’s latest upgrades, Adobe’s YouTube Shorts integration, and Zoom’s new P4 Next. Plus, we look at NPR’s newest discovery tool and what it reveals about the future of podcast growth.
