About this episode
On this week’s Podcast Top 5, Emily Soule brings you the latest podcast news:
Trebble just launched DeepCut, an AI editing tool that lets podcasters cut, polish, and refine episodes using plain language, plus an optional Safe Cut feature for natural-sounding edits. Oxford Road unveiled ORBIT, the first podcast ranking system based on ad performance rather than popularity, giving marketers the data they’ve been waiting for.
James Corden’s This Life of Mine is now available everywhere, moving beyond its SiriusXM exclusivity to reach all listeners. And Altmetric is tracking podcasts, meaning research cited in episodes now counts toward academic impact.
This week’s podcast pick is The Rest Is History with Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook. From brutal rulers to epic battles and world-changing events, it’s history told like a thriller. Discovered via mowPod Charts, this show is perfect for history buffs or anyone looking for gripping storytelling.
