ABERTURA SEGUNDA-FEIRA, 6 DE NOVEMBRO DE 2023. EU SOU LEO LOPES  E ESTÁ NO AR O CASTNEWS, O PODCAST SEMANAL QUE CHEGA A SUA EDIÇÃO DE NÚMERO 40 COM INFORMAÇÕES SOBRE TUDO O QUE ACONTECE DE MAIS IMPORTANTE NO MERCADO DE PODCASTS NO BRASIL E NO MUNDO. Escalada O aumento cada vez maior da relação das crianças com o podcast, o uso majoritário da publicidade em podcast para a construção de marcas, o fim do podcast Foro de Teresina após a saída de seus hosts e a nova temporada do primeiro podcast sobre true crime do Norte do Brasil estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta 40ª edição do Castnews! NOTÍCIAS 1. Alguns episódios atrás, a gente já comentou sobre como as crianças têm sido um público novo e engajado com o podcast no último ano, e desde então, mais pesquisas têm sido feitas pra levantar informações sobre o público infantil de podcast. Um estudo recente da United Talent Agency revelou que 48% das crianças nos Estados Unidos ouvem podcasts toda semana, e 67% delas ouvem pelo menos uma vez por mês. A pesquisa All Ears, de onde vieram os dados, foi realizada com 5 mil pais e mães americanos que ouvem podcasts com os filhos. A pesquisa indicou que a maioria das crianças escolhe os podcasts por conta própria, e que as recomendações de familiares e amigos são mais confiáveis do que as recomendações recebidas nas redes sociais. Episódios de 10 a 20 minutos de duração são os preferidos da criançada, com o YouTube e o Spotify mantendo o posto de canais mais populares. Outro dado de grande destaque na pesquisa, foi que quase 90% dos pais entrevistados estão dispostos a pagar por assinaturas de podcast para seus filhos. Os motivos variam: 60% dos pais demonstraram interesse em episódios “bônus” e acessos antecipados, e 71% pagaria para que as crianças consumissem o conteúdo sem anúncios. Vale lembrar que a publicidade voltada pra crianças pode ser um assunto polêmico, e não é regulamentada da mesma forma em todos os lugares, inclusive aqui no Brasil é proibido, então como o público infantil de podcasts é novo, esse debate ainda pode ir longe. 2. Na última atualização do iOS 7, a Apple fez algumas alterações nos downloads automáticos de podcast. Antes, quando um usuário não ouvia um podcast por um tempo, quando ele voltava, todos os episódios não-reproduzidos eram baixados automaticamente. Agora, o aplicativo não faz mais o download automático de episódios passados, ele só retoma de onde o ouvinte parou. Ou seja; se o usuário não for manualmente atrás dos podcasts que parou de acompanhar, ele não vai receber ou ser notificado dos episódios perdidos. Se o podcast for serial, vai ficar claro pro ouvinte que ele perdeu conteúdo. Mas, se não for, existe uma grande chance de que vários episódios nem entrem no radar dos ouvintes que acompanham pelo Apple Podcasts. Além disso, episódios que forem adicionados a mais de 7 dias também não vão ser baixados automaticamente. Essas mudanças da Apple causaram uma preocupação pros produtores de podcast: como é que vão ficar as métricas de download? São vários fatores que podem contribuir com a queda da audiência e dos downloads, mas esse sistema tem uma chance enorme de causar diminuição no número de plays. Sem precisão nas métricas e sem os anunciantes tendo as impressões reais dos podcasts, como será que vai ficar essa questão à longo prazo? Vamos acompanhar e te atualizar de todos os desdobramentos. AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 3. E ainda dentro do mesmo tema, o PodNews atualizou recentemente sua página “Entendendo Estatísticas” para incluir informações sobre o YouTube e o Spotify for Podcasters. A página explica como as plataformas fornecem dados de métricas incluindo downloads, streams, plays e números de audiência. A atualização apresenta informações sobre como gerar dados de desempenho no YouTube Studio Analytics, que é pra ajudar os podcasters a compreenderem como está sendo o consumo dos seus programas. O conteúdo é de aproveitamento geral, mas a página é focada nos podcasts estadunidenses. Comenta nas nossas redes sociais se você gostaria que o Castnews fizesse a versão em português desse guia! 4. Na semana passada um novo editor de podcasts de código aberto foi lançado em sua versão alfa: o Coalesce AI. O programa transcreve o áudio do podcast, permitindo que os usuários editem o texto diretamente na plataforma, com as alterações sendo refletidas no áudio. O Coalesce AI diz também oferecer recursos de colaboração instantânea, ferramentas de edição de áudio intuitivas e o ajuste de timing do episódio de forma rápida e fácil. Quem quiser testar a ferramenta pode criar uma conta no site oficial da empresa e dar seus feedbacks sobre o software no grupo oficial do Discord. 5. Estamos chegando no fim do ano, época em que o Spotify libera o Wrapped, aquele evento que relembra as principais músicas e podcasts ouvidos pelos usuários durante o ano. Como a campanha é global e as pessoas compartilham suas listas nas redes sociais, o Spotify lançou dicas para os podcasters aproveitarem o Wrapped 2023 pra alcançar novas audiências. O checklist inclui personalizar a página do podcast, instruções de como adicionar recomendações de episódios e vincular redes sociais, além de promover o engajamento com o público utilizando as caixinhas de perguntas e respostas. O Wrapped 2023 está previsto pra acontecer no início de dezembro. E MAIS: 6. Você lembra que em vários episódios passados a gente já falou sobre como a publicidade em podcasts é um investimento cada vez mais certeiro para as marcas? Continua tão relevante quanto antes. Um estudo da IAB divulgado na última semana mostrou que mais de 60% da publicidade em podcasts é direcionada para a construção de marca, e que os investimentos aumentaram 13% nos últimos 2 anos. Além disso, a inserção de anúncios dinâmicos responde por mais de 90% das receitas publicitárias (sendo 30% deles em áudio). Mais uma vez a gente tem motivos pra acreditar que o ano que vem vai ser o ano do podcast! Se depender das expectativas de receita publicitária, vai ser mesmo. 7. E nessa última semana a equipe do Castnews não economizou nas dicas de produção pro seu podcast: tem dicas de como construir uma introdução pro seu programa, tem matéria sobre a quantidade ideal de anúncios em um podcast, e tem até instruções práticas de como alavancar o seu podcast conquistando cada vez mais audiência. Não é pouca coisa, e definitivamente são conteúdos fundamentais pra todos os produtores que querem mostrar um trabalho caprichado e polido. Então não perde tempo, assim que esse episódio acabar, acessa a aba de Produção lá no portal do Castnews em castnews.com.br e pega todas as dicas pra melhorar seu podcast cada dia mais. HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA:  8. Os jornalistas Thais Bilenky e José Roberto de Toledo anunciaram em suas redes sociais seu afastamento do podcast Foro de Teresina da Revista Piauí. A saída dos jornalistas foi seguida pelo encerramento do próprio podcast, anunciado em uma nota da revista cinco dias depois do anúncio de desligamento dos jornalistas. O afastamento dos dois foi algo que ninguém tava esperando, gerou bastante especulação, e outros jornalistas que já trabalharam na Revista Piauí chegaram a se pronunciar em solidariedade à Thais e José Roberto. O motivo que levou ao fim do Foro de Teresina, segundo o pronunciamento da Revista Piauí, foi a “falta de condições pra que o podcast continuasse operando como antes”. O episódio final do podcast foi conduzido pelo Fernando de Barros e Silva e publicado no feed do Foro na última sexta-feira. 9. A Ambev realizou a segunda edição do projeto InPulso, focado em alavancar os projetos independentes de criadores de conteúdo periféricos. Os participantes selecionados receberam treinamento e mentoria sobre gestão de pessoas, diversificação de receita e uso de novas tecnologias – questões bastante comuns no mercado de podcasting, principalmente entre os criadores independentes. Como sempre, a gente vai parabenizar a iniciativa aqui no Castnews, e reforçar a importância de diversificar as vozes na podosfera e de abrir cada vez mais espaço pra quem quiser falar e produzir conteúdo. Que o podcast seja cada dia mais democrático e acessível à todo mundo. 10. E falando sobre o cenário de podcasts no Brasil e as oportunidades do setor, o Guilherme Sagas, CEO e cofundador da produtora HD1, bateu um papo sobre o tema com a equipe do Castnews na última semana. Ele também comentou sobre a rotina de produção da HD1 e disse que todo ano a empresa seleciona alguns projetos de podcasts narrativos para integrar o catálogo de originais da produtora. Ficou interessado? Então não deixa de conferir a entrevista na íntegra lá no nosso portal. SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 11. A segunda temporada do podcast “Além do Crime”, o primeiro true crime da região Norte do Brasil, vai ser lançada na próxima quinta-feira, dia 9 de novembro. No programa, as apresentadoras Bruna Chagas e Penélope Antony abordam crimes chocantes que aconteceram no Amazonas e no Brasil. A nova temporada conta com convidados que estiveram envolvidos nos casos, como peritos e psicólogos, para explorar a mente do criminoso e o impacto na vida das vítimas. A gravação do podcast pode ser acompanhada ao vivo pelos canais do On Jornal às quintas-feiras, e toda sexta-feira os episódios vão ser disponibilizados nas principais plataformas de áudio. 12. No dia 31 de outubro foi lançado o “Podcast Graveyard”, ou, em tradução direta, o “Cemitério de Podcasts”, uma nova produção da OneFinePlay. O programa conta histórias de podcasts que foram abandonados, analisando os motivos que levaram ao fim. O objetivo é ensinar aos criadores de conteúdo o que fazer, e o que não fazer na criação de um podcast. O Podcast Graveyard quer quebrar o estigma em torno do fracasso e incentivar criadores a abraçar sua autenticidade e prosperar no mercado de podcasts. Os primeiros episódios já estão disponíveis nas principais plataformas de streaming (em inglês). RECOMENDAÇÃO NACIONAL:  13. E na recomendação nacional da semana, a gente tem uma minissérie em áudio que, de tão bem divulgada, chegou a deixar alguns usuários do twitter preocupados. O Mundo Freak lançou na semana do Halloween a série “O Ruído”, que acompanha a trajetória da jornalista Daniela Tavares, uma personagem fictícia que muita gente acreditou que era real. O enredo acompanha o sumiço da Daniela, que desaparece assim que começa a investigar a morte misteriosa de um músico em uma cidade universitária. A série é uma produção original do Mundo Freak com a produtora Paratopia, tá super imersiva, super bem editada, e foi feita com áudio binaural, igual França e o Labirinto – que a gente também já falou aqui no Castnews. Então já sabe, né? Use fones de ouvido se for possível, que é pra entrar na história de cabeça mesmo.  Os 5 episódios da série já estão disponíveis na íntegra no feed do Mundo Freak nas principais plataformas de áudio. E você sempre pode divulgar trabalhos e oportunidades dentro da indústria do podcast, aqui no Castnews. Sejam vagas remuneradas ou vagas de participação em projetos, manda pra gente no e-mail contato@castnews.com.br que elas vão ser publicadas na nossa newsletter, que é enviada duas vezes por semana: na quarta e na sexta-feira. Além disso, você também pode mandar uma pequena apresentação do seu podcast, e se ele for o escolhido, vai aparecer aqui na nossa recomendação nacional da semana.

Drive throughout the South and you'll encounter towns that were once full of culture and community, and now appear nearly abandoned. Sometimes the change comes from environmental shifts, but sometimes the causes are man-made.  Throughout this week, the Gulf States Newsroom is bringing you three stories about ghost towns in our region, called “Place, Erased.” Today, reporters Drew Hawkins and Danny McArthur discuss how this project came to be. Then, Danny travels to Easonville, Ala., where the few remaining residents remember the flood that nearly wiped out their community.  This weekend, The National World War II Museum in New Orleans will open its final permanent exhibition: The Liberation Pavilion. This exhibit will aim to educate viewers about the end of the war and its lasting impact today.  Michael Bell, the executive director of the museum's Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, joins us for more on how this exhibition came to be. This month marks 100 years of Disney, and as many New Orleanians know, there are plenty of connections between our city and the Disney universe. The New Orleans-inspired resorts at theme parks and “The Princess and the Frog” movie are just two examples of the influence of this city on the Disney company – and on Walt Disney himself. Joan Feder, a former Disney travel writer for AllEars.net and self-described Disney aficionada, joins us for more on the links between the Disney franchise and the Big Easy.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our assistant producer is Aubry Procell. Our engineer is Garrett Pittman. You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12 and 7 p.m. It's available on Spotify, Google Play and wherever you get your podcasts.  Louisiana Considered wants to hear from you! Please fill out our pitch line to let us know what kinds of story ideas you have for our show. And while you're at it, fill out our listener survey!

Tell it to us Straight… Its Episode 143!  Gerber, Danko and Chuck are back for a night of sports and more in the Land. The Guys switch things up for a night of talking football, basketball and rock and roll. The Guys start the night talking a lot of winning football in the Land and the Buckeye state. The Guys recap the crazy, stupid, white satin winning Sunday for the Browns, the ongoing issues with Deshaun Watson and trust issues. The Guys also check in on The Ohio State University after a big win over a top ten ranked Penn State team. In their next segment (21:06), the Guys turn to hoops and their final predictions for the Cavs 2023 season. The Guys space the floor, talk new offense, possible players on the move, the future of coach JB Bickerstaff and their thoughts on the final story line for the season. After that, Chuck takes over and provides lessons on the new NBA mid-season tournament and his thoughts on how to improve the tournament before it even starts. Finally (41:16), the Guys close the show with some joy and an All Ears album review of Hackney Diamonds, the new album by the Rolling Stones. The Guys talk lyrical depth, bad rhymes, their favorite songs and the pure fun of 80 year olds showing everyone how rock and roll is done. Stick around after the closing music (1:01:21) for the outtakes, more Stones talk, Olympic Flag Football and the end of Chuck's fantasy team. From the Land is available on Twitter @Pod_FromtheLand, on Instagram @fromthelandpodcast, on YouTube @fromtheland, on Threads @fromthelandpodcast and the world wide web at www.fromthelandpodcast.com

In the latest Tech Talks Daily podcast episode, we sat down with Darryl Adams, Director of Accessibility at Intel. Darryl provides enlightening insights into how Intel is harnessing technology to bridge the accessibility gap, particularly for individuals with hearing disabilities. Here are some of the key takeaways: Global Access to Assistive Technology: In a heartwarming partnership with 3DP4ME, Intel is making strides in increasing the availability of assistive tech in developing countries. A pilot project in Jordan stands as a testament to the potential of this initiative. By employing 3D printing technology, 3DP4ME is equipping children with custom-fitted hearing aids. This not only ensures a better fit but also proves to be a quicker and more cost-effective solution than traditional methods.   Seamless Aid-to-PC Integration: Leveraging the insights from their employees with hearing impairments, Intel's innovative team is closing the compatibility gap that once restricted the full use of hearing aids with PCs. Thanks to the implementation of Bluetooth LE Audio, users can now directly connect their hearing aids to their computers.   A Tailored Audio Assistance Experience: Recognizing that one size doesn't fit all, Intel is pioneering personalized audio assistance solutions. For those challenged by specific sound frequencies, Intel's tools are designed to help them concentrate on their PC tasks without missing out on vital ambient sounds. The All Ears software is a prime example of this, alerting users to significant sounds in their surroundings through on-screen notifications. This conversation sheds light on the power of technology in making the world a more inclusive space for all.

Matt is joined by Steve Flynt, Chief Operating Officer at Solstice Senior Living. Steve is a 30-year veteran of senior living with an extensive background in operations leadership. He is a licensed nursing home administrator in Arizona and Colorado and has supported senior living communities across the United States. In this episode of All Ears, Matt and Steve discuss building teams, creating a learning environment, and cultivating a culture of caring and accountability where the best talent can rise to be productive servant leaders.

Disney's Coronado Springs Resort opened at Walt Disney World in 1997 across from Disney's Blizzard Beach water park. Closely situated near Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park, EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, Coronado Springs includes 10 dining locations (Toledo, Maya Grill, Three Bridges, Rix Sports Bar, Barcelona Lounge, Dahlia Lounge and more) and an array of amenities, pools and recreation, and even the largest conference center at Walt Disney World. With outer buildings (casitas, ranchos, and cabanas) as well as the 2019 addition of Gran Destino Tower, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is perhaps the most versatile hotel on property with options ranging from standard moderate rooms to club-level presidential suites. In this podcast episode, we discuss the history and details of Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, along with the many reasons you should consider staying here on your next Walt Disney World vacation.

Ralph welcomes Abigail Disney, to discuss her work trying to get her namesake's company to pay their workers a fair, livable wage as told in her documentary, “The American Dream: And Other Fairy Tales.” Plus, Erica Payne cofounder of The Patriotic Millionaires and co-author of “Tax The Rich!” returns to update us on their latest work educating ordinary Americans about how they can advocate for a fairer tax system.Abigail Disney is a social activist, philanthropist, and an Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker. She is also Chair and Co-Founder of Level Forward, an ecosystem of storytellers, entrepreneurs, and social change-makers dedicated to balancing artistic vision, social impact, and stakeholder return. She also created the nonprofit Peace is Loud, which uses storytelling to advance social movements, and the Daphne Foundation, which supports organizations working for a more equitable, fair, and peaceful New York City. She is Co-Founder of Fork Films, a nonfiction media production company, which produces original documentaries and the podcast All Ears. Her latest film, which she co-directed with Kathleen Hughes, is The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales.Heirs and heiresses have gotten into a lot of trouble down the years trying to impose their will on the world. I think that my job, if I have one, is to impose the will of the world on wealthy people instead of the other way around.Abigail DisneyWe need to reinvigorate the IRS, we need to reinvigorate OSHA, we need to reinvigorate the NLRB and the other referees that have been made anemic by the constant assault of budget cuts.Abigail DisneyIt is amazing to me that, as this far rightwing guy, [Roy Disney] would never have treated his workers in a million years the way that the CEO at the time—Bob Iger, who was toying with running for president as a Democrat—was treating them on the regular. And that was the total capture of the entire American political spectrum by an idea about work and working that was the inverse—in a relatively short period of time— of what my grandfather was doing as a matter of course.Abigail DisneyErica Payne is the founder and president of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of high-net-worth individuals that aims to restructure America's political economy to suit the needs of all Americans. Their work includes advocating for a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens. She is the co-author, with Morris Pearl, of Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.As far as I can tell, the billionaire class bought up the entire Republican Party and a sufficient number of Democrats that they got a stranglehold on this economy. What they basically created is a system that guarantees we become more unequal more quickly over time, they destabilize the entire country, they threaten democratic capitalism around the world…Mathematically, there's absolutely no direction this country can go in other than more unequal. And we're looking at a game of economic Jenga, where we're basically pulling money out of the bottom and the middle and putting it on the top and the whole thing's in the process of collapsing.Erica PayneIf they are talking to you about something other than money, they are stealing your money. So the next time someone is talking to you about abortion, or transgender rights, or critical race theory, or any of these other things, you can rest assured that these politicians on the back end are stealing your money.Erica PayneI'm glad you mentioned Reagan, because I think liberals and progressives underestimate the gigantic impact this cruel man with a smile had on the culture with his market fundamentalism.Ralph NaderWe are excited to announce a book giveaway featuring "Tax the Rich!: How Lies, Loopholes, and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer" by Erica Payne and Morris Pearl. To participate, simply click this email link and provide your full name, address (including city, state, and zip code). Please note that the giveaway is limited to one copy per person or household. We have a total of thirty books available, which will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Act fast to secure your copy and uncover the truths behind wealth inequality. In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeStantis1. As the reinvigorated Teamsters union engages in a massive contract renegotiation with UPS, the labor group has announced they scored a major victory – elimination of 22.4, the “two-tier” system, meaning “all drivers currently classified under the 22.4 system would be reclassified immediately to Regular Package Car Drivers, placed in seniority, and have their pay adjusted to the appropriate RPCD rate.” The two-tier system has been a central issue for organized labor in recent years, and a catalyst for the proliferation of a more militant labor movement.2. For the past six years, the Department of Energy has been attempting to clean up a “highly radioactive” spill near the Columbia River in Washington State. Now, the Tri-City Herald reports that the spill is “both deeper and broader than anticipated.” The Energy Department is already quoted saying “the soil beneath the 324 Building is so radioactively hot that it would be lethal to a worker on direct contact within two minutes.”3. Amid a slew of reactionary decisions, the Supreme Court somehow made the right call in a major case. In a 5-4 decision, led by Gorsuch, the Court ruled in Mallory v. Norfolk that “Pennsylvania's law establishing personal jurisdiction over a corporation through mandatory registration does NOT violate due process,” Mark Joseph Stern reports. The full opinion is available here.4. The membership of the Screen Actors Guild have already voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, yet union president Fran Drescher seems to be merely using that vote as leverage to demand concessions from the studios. In response, Rolling Stone reports that over 300 actors – including household names like Meryl Streep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Quinta Brunson – sent a public letter urging against compromise with the studios in the face of major threats like AI. The letter ends by saying “For our union and its future, this is our moment. We hope that, on our behalf, you will meet that moment and not miss it.”5. A major new report by Good Jobs First found that major corporate polluters in Michigan have been exploiting an anti-pollution subsidy in the state for decades. Just since 2010, corporations like GM, Ford, and Stellantis have cheated the Michigan treasury of $2.2 billion. As the group notes, the first step to addressing this corporate welfare crisis is “A proper accounting of which communities are losing how much money.”6. The New York Times reports that, as a result of corrupt dealings within the Department of Education, New York City schoolchildren were fed chicken tenders containing pieces of metal and plastic. This serves as a sobering reminder of the real-world impacts of corporate capture and corruption.7. In Korea, embattled extreme Right-wing president Yoon Suk Yeol – who, among other dangerous proposals has sought to resurrect the country's nuclear weapons program – is seeking to crackdown on the country's unions. In response, the Korea Herald reports that the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions will hold two weeks of sustained strikes intended to drive Yoon from office. Between 400,000 and half a million workers are expected to participate.8. The “Greedflation” theory – which contends the recent spate of inflation is due to corporate profit seeking rather than a tight labor market – has won a major backer: the International Monetary Fund, or IMF. A new report on inflation in Europe published by the international finance agency found that profits account for no less than 45% of price rises since 2022. Import costs accounted for another 40%. This is a stunning finding for a group that typically does everything in its power to aid multinational capital.9. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy has announced some major wins from the recent state legislative sessions, including defending Washington State's capital gains tax and blocking a regressive package of tax cuts in Kansas. If he were dead, Grover Norquist would be rolling in his grave. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

On episode #43 of All Ears at Child's Voice: A Hearing Loss Podcast, Colleen and new co-host Julie are joined by guest Jason Anderson. Jason Anderson is a late deafened adult that has experienced many forms of hearing loss throughout his life. He found his calling and purpose in disability services. He worked for a decade at the University of Wisconsin as an access specialist for students who were deaf and hard of hearing, and he recently made the decision to leave UW M for another opportunity with the State of Wisconsin Office for Deaf and Hard of Hearing, where he is a program and policy analyst. Colleen and Julie talk to Jason about his work helping college aged deaf and hard of hearing students transition to college and advocate for themselves on campus.
