Today on The Download from Sound Profitable; Beer gets into video podcast advertising, kids podcast business is booming, and an appeal to private marketplace deals over FAANG, and more. Production company Crooked Media has kicked off a campaign incorporating a purely visual sponsorship into Offline with Jon Favreau, and it’s from a sector not frequently seen in podcasting. Morning Brew’s Alyssa Meyers covered the story last Friday, shining light on a YouTube-focused partnership between Crooked Media and Blue Moon beer, a subsidiary of Molson Coors. “For Blue Moon, Crooked agreed to add title cards that say ‘presented by Blue Moon,’ along with the brand’s logo, to the start of each Offline YouTube episode, Crooked Media VP of commercial marketing and creative strategy Joel Fowler told Marketing Brew.” In addition to the title card and host-read ads in each video, Blue Moon will also buy YouTube ad space specifically on Crooked Media’s YouTube channel. Joel Fowler told Marketing Brew Blue Moon is the first “bigger blue-chip brands that you’re seeing come into the podcast space.” Fowler foresees more Fortune 500 companies embracing multi-media podcast ad campaigns in the near future. Disinformation detection company NewsGuard is looking to provide brand safety by uprooting disinformation in podcasts. According to reporting by MediaPosts’ Joe Mandese: “NewsGuard is said to be in talks with at least three of the ad industry’s big holding companies to fund the new podcast rating service, and would reap a six-month exclusive window as part of the deal.” Mandese connects a renewed industry interest in new brand safety tools for podcasts to the latest controversy surrounding the resurgence of COVID-19 disinformation on Spotify’s The Joe Rogan Experience. NewsGuard aims to provide a personal touch with physical human analysts to employ prior knowledge and context to determine a podcast’s veracity, building lists of safe or problem podcasts as time goes on. While initially NewsGuard’s attempt to adapt their blog fact-checkers for podcasting sounds noble, it raises some eyebrows. It’s a proprietary tool that’ll have six-month exclusivity for the anonymous holding companies funding the project. Their chosen hands-on approach also isn’t scaleable like other solutions currently in production, like that offered by Barometer. Unlike NewsGuard, Barometer is using the publicly-auditable GARM framework and isn’t focusing on exclusivity with a particular investor. It is *The Download’*s opinion that the brand safety problem needs not be solved with proprietary solutions, but with accessible and easily-replicated frameworks. Once again J. Clara Chan over at Hollywood Reporter has some fun developments in the podcasting world. Published last Tuesday, Chan’s The Booming Business of Kids’ Podcasting gives a rundown of the big-name attention kids podcasts are getting. “Podcasts in the kids and family category have seen a 20 percent increase in listenership since 2019, according to NPR and Edison Research’s 2021 Spoken Word Audio Report. Podcast adaptations of hit children’s shows are proliferating, while, conversely, film and TV studios are becoming involved earlier than ever to snap up podcast IP catered toward kids.” That 20% number is likely quite low, as discussed in Lindsay Patterson’s Medium blog on how the Kids & Family category needs an overhaul. Regardless of where the number’s at, it’s good enough to get some big movers interested in kids’ podcasting content. Spotify has produced a podcast spinoff of the viral hit toddler sensory videos CoComelon. GBH Kids is producing an adaptation to continue the recently-retired PBS Kids series Arthur. On the opposite side of the equation Warner Brothers is optioning the TV rights from Gen-Z Media’s unreleased podcast 20 Million Views. According to Ben Strouse, CEO of Gen-Z media while speaking to Hollywood Reporter: “Everyone’s looking for great IP, especially great family IP, which is what we’re counting on.” As YouTube, television, and every other form of media has discovered: making content to entertain kids is profitable. Now podcasting just has to thread the tricky needle of advertising to younger audiences with legislation like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act severely limiting traditional advertising practices. On Wednesday Michael Korsunsky published the incredibly thorough op-ed “How Publishers Can Lessen Their Dependence on FAANG” in a Wednesday op-ed for Adweek. Korsunsky opens with a quick recap of the alleged handshake deal in which Google offered Facebook perks like lower digital ad fees in exchange for Facebook’s support of Google’s Open Bidding program. News that gives the appearance the F and the G of FAANG are colluding. For those not looking at the transcript: FAANG is an initialism of the five biggest players in tech consisting of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. Well, technically with Google becoming an Alphabet company the last letter should be A, but FAANA doesn’t have the same flair. Quirky names aside, Korsunsky’s not happy. “[T]he news is a betrayal of publishers’ trust and highlights yet again the overdominance of the walled garden; it should therefore be treated as a bellwether moment for all digital marketers.” Korsunsky thinks its high time to kick shadowy open marketplaces to the curb and embrace transparent, more direct transactions on private marketplaces. For more background on the perils of open-market programmatic, check out Michael Bürgi’s Digiday piece “Open-market video programmatic is rife with fraud, say buyers, further complicating an already-difficult marketplace.” What does this mean for podcasting? As an industry it’s best poised to expand with programmatic through private marketplaces, providing more transparency and better relationships than open marketplaces. If advertisers get on board with finding this solution more preferable outside of podcasting, it will likely bleed over to increased programmatic sales in podcasting Once again we bring shocking news posted to Twitter. On Monday Digital Content Next CEO Jason Kint posted a Twitter thread analyzing developments in a sizable privacy lawsuit against Google in Northern California courts. The court order calls for Ernst & Young, Google’s independent auditor, to immediately relinquish all files relevant to the suit. Google is also ordered to show cause as to why they should not be sanctioned in light of new information suggesting Google allegedly ordered Ernst & Young to withhold over six thousand sensitive documents relevant to the case. “It’s a bad look for E&Y to be playing this way for Google considering they perform much of the auditing across the advertising industry.” In addition to the advertising industry implications, Ernst & Young is one of the primary auditing firms for certifications, like those through IAB. Continuing The Download’s tendency to experiment and grow, we’ve got two new segments that don’t quite have names just yet. We’re working on it. First up, a brief recap of podcast company funding rounds of note over the last week. On Tuesday Libsyn landed 4.75 million in new equity financing. And as broken in Monday’s Podnews, podcast startup Kaleidoscope secured 3.5 million in funding, as well as a six-show deal with iHeartMedia. For this second and final segment, we want to branch out our occasional honorable mention into a regular highlight of multiple stories we couldn’t fit into today’s episode but are absolutely worth your time to read in full. With that in mind, here are this week’s three must-reads: The Care and Feeding of a Podcast Audience by Tom Webster. Women Podcast Listeners: What We Know Right Now by Caila Litman. Big Tech Always Fails at Doing Radio by Matt Deegan, which might be of special interest to those who remember our coverage of the Amazon AMP app last week. The Download is a production of Sounds Profitable. Today's episode was hosted by Shreya Sharma and Manuela Bedoya, and the script was written by Gavin Gaddis. Bryan Barletta and Evo Terra are the executive producers of The Download from Sounds Profitable.

Quirky names aside, Korsunsky's not happy. “[T]he news is a betrayal of publishers' trust and highlights yet again the overdominance of the walled garden; it should therefore be treated as a bellwether moment for all digital marketers.” Korsunsky thinks its high time to kick shadowy open marketplaces to the curb and embrace transparent, more direct transactions on private marketplaces. For more background on the perils of open-market programmatic, check out Michael Bürgi's Digiday piece “Open-market video programmatic is rife with fraud, say buyers, further complicating an already-difficult marketplace.” What does this mean for podcasting? As an industry it's best poised to expand with programmatic through private marketplaces, providing more transparency and better relationships than open marketplaces. If advertisers get on board with finding this solution more preferable outside of podcasting, it will likely bleed over to increased programmatic sales in podcasting Once again we bring shocking news posted to Twitter. On Monday Digital Content Next CEO Jason Kint posted a Twitter thread analyzing developments in a sizable privacy lawsuit against Google in Northern California courts. The court order calls for Ernst & Young, Google's independent auditor, to immediately relinquish all files relevant to the suit. Google is also ordered to show cause as to why they should not be sanctioned in light of new information suggesting Google allegedly ordered Ernst & Young to withhold over six thousand sensitive documents relevant to the case. “It's a bad look for E&Y to be playing this way for Google considering they perform much of the auditing across the advertising industry.” In addition to the advertising industry implications, Ernst & Young is one of the primary auditing firms for certifications, like those through IAB. Continuing The Download's tendency to experiment and grow, we've got two new segments that don't quite have names just yet. We're working on it. First up, a brief recap of podcast company funding rounds of note over the last week. On Tuesday Libsyn landed 4.75 million in new equity financing. And as broken in Monday's Podnews, podcast startup Kaleidoscope secured 3.5 million in funding, as well as a six-show deal with iHeartMedia. For this second and final segment, we want to branch out our occasional honorable mention into a regular highlight of multiple stories we couldn't fit into today's episode but are absolutely worth your time to read in full. With that in mind, here are this week's three must-reads: The Care and Feeding of a Podcast Audience by Tom Webster. Women Podcast Listeners: What We Know Right Now by Caila Litman. Big Tech Always Fails at Doing Radio by Matt Deegan, which might be of special interest to those who remember our coverage of the Amazon AMP app last week.

Today on The Download from Sound Profitable; Beer gets into video podcast advertising, kids podcast business is booming, and an appeal to private marketplace deals over FAANG, and more. Production company Crooked Media has kicked off a campaign incorporating a purely visual sponsorship into Offline with Jon Favreau, and it’s from a sector not frequently seen in podcasting. Morning Brew’s Alyssa Meyers covered the story last Friday, shining light on a YouTube-focused partnership between Crooked Media and Blue Moon beer, a subsidiary of Molson Coors. “For Blue Moon, Crooked agreed to add title cards that say ‘presented by Blue Moon,’ along with the brand’s logo, to the start of each Offline YouTube episode, Crooked Media VP of commercial marketing and creative strategy Joel Fowler told Marketing Brew.” In addition to the title card and host-read ads in each video, Blue Moon will also buy YouTube ad space specifically on Crooked Media’s YouTube channel. Joel Fowler told Marketing Brew Blue Moon is the first “bigger blue-chip brands that you’re seeing come into the podcast space.” Fowler foresees more Fortune 500 companies embracing multi-media podcast ad campaigns in the near future. Disinformation detection company NewsGuard is looking to provide brand safety by uprooting disinformation in podcasts. According to reporting by MediaPosts’ Joe Mandese: “NewsGuard is said to be in talks with at least three of the ad industry’s big holding companies to fund the new podcast rating service, and would reap a six-month exclusive window as part of the deal.” Mandese connects a renewed industry interest in new brand safety tools for podcasts to the latest controversy surrounding the resurgence of COVID-19 disinformation on Spotify’s The Joe Rogan Experience. NewsGuard aims to provide a personal touch with physical human analysts to employ prior knowledge and context to determine a podcast’s veracity, building lists of safe or problem podcasts as time goes on. While initially NewsGuard’s attempt to adapt their blog fact-checkers for podcasting sounds noble, it raises some eyebrows. It’s a proprietary tool that’ll have six-month exclusivity for the anonymous holding companies funding the project. Their chosen hands-on approach also isn’t scaleable like other solutions currently in production, like that offered by Barometer. Unlike NewsGuard, Barometer is using the publicly-auditable GARM framework and isn’t focusing on exclusivity with a particular investor. It is *The Download’*s opinion that the brand safety problem needs not be solved with proprietary solutions, but with accessible and easily-replicated frameworks. Once again J. Clara Chan over at Hollywood Reporter has some fun developments in the podcasting world. Published last Tuesday, Chan’s The Booming Business of Kids’ Podcasting gives a rundown of the big-name attention kids podcasts are getting. “Podcasts in the kids and family category have seen a 20 percent increase in listenership since 2019, according to NPR and Edison Research’s 2021 Spoken Word Audio Report. Podcast adaptations of hit children’s shows are proliferating, while, conversely, film and TV studios are becoming involved earlier than ever to snap up podcast IP catered toward kids.” That 20% number is likely quite low, as discussed in Lindsay Patterson’s Medium blog on how the Kids & Family category needs an overhaul. Regardless of where the number’s at, it’s good enough to get some big movers interested in kids’ podcasting content. Spotify has produced a podcast spinoff of the viral hit toddler sensory videos CoComelon. GBH Kids is producing an adaptation to continue the recently-retired PBS Kids series Arthur. On the opposite side of the equation Warner Brothers is optioning the TV rights from Gen-Z Media’s unreleased podcast 20 Million Views. According to Ben Strouse, CEO of Gen-Z media while speaking to Hollywood Reporter: “Everyone’s looking for great IP, especially great family IP, which is what we’re counting on.” As YouTube, television, and every other form of media has discovered: making content to entertain kids is profitable. Now podcasting just has to thread the tricky needle of advertising to younger audiences with legislation like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act severely limiting traditional advertising practices. On Wednesday Michael Korsunsky published the incredibly thorough op-ed “How Publishers Can Lessen Their Dependence on FAANG” in a Wednesday op-ed for Adweek. Korsunsky opens with a quick recap of the alleged handshake deal in which Google offered Facebook perks like lower digital ad fees in exchange for Facebook’s support of Google’s Open Bidding program. News that gives the appearance the F and the G of FAANG are colluding. For those not looking at the transcript: FAANG is an initialism of the five biggest players in tech consisting of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. Well, technically with Google becoming an Alphabet company the last letter should be A, but FAANA doesn’t have the same flair.

La cerveza pone a prueba la publicidad de video podcasts, el negocio de podcasts para niños está floreciendo, y una súplica para más transacciones en el mercado privado en vez de en las FAANG (las cinco grandes compañías de tecnología: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflx y Google). La casa productora de podcasts, Crooked Media, ha lanzado una campaña que incorpora publicidad puramente visual en su podcast llamado Offline with Jon Favreau. El patrocinio viene de un sector poco visto en el podcasting. Alyssa Meyers de Morning Brew cubrió la historia el viernes pasado, destacando una asociación centrada en YouTube entre Crooked Media y la marca de cerveza Blue Moon, una filial de Molson Coors, la empresa cervecera líder mundial. Meyers escribe, “Crooked [Media] acordó agregar tarjetas de texto que digan ‘presentado por Blue Moon’, acompañado por el logo de la marca, al principio de cada episodio de Offline en YouTube", le dijo Joel Fowler, vicepresidente de marketing comercial y estrategia creativa de Crooked Media, a Marketing Brew.” Además de la tarjeta de texto y los anuncios leído por el anfitrión en cada video, Blue Moon también comprará espacio publicitario específicamente en el canal de YouTube de Crooked Media. Joel Fowler le dijo a Marketing Brew que Blue Moon es la primera "de las grandes marcas de primer nivel que uno está viendo entrar en el espacio de los podcasts". Fowler anticipa que más empresas de los Fortune 500 adopten campañas publicitarias de podcasts multimedia en un futuro cercano. La empresa de detección de desinformación NewsGuard busca brindar seguridad de marca a través de la eliminación la desinformación en los podcasts.Joe Mandese de la editorial MediaPosts informa, "Se dice que NewsGuard está en conversaciones con al menos tres de las grandes empresas de holding de la industria publicitaria para financiar el nuevo servicio de calificación de podcasts, los cuales obtendrían un periodo exclusivo de seis meses como parte del trato." Mandese relaciona el renovado interés de la industria en nuevas herramientas de seguridad de marca CON la polémica sobre el resurgimiento de la desinformación sobre COVID-19 en el programa The Joe Rogan Experience de Spotify*.* NewsGuard busca proporcionar un proceso único con analistas humanos quienes emplearán el conocimiento y el contexto previo para determinar la veracidad de un podcast, creando listas de podcasts seguros y problemáticos con el tiempo. Suena noble el intento de NewsGuard de adaptar sus fact-checkers o, verificadores de hechos, de su blog para el podcasting, pero sí trae ligera desaprobación. Es una herramienta privada que tendrá una exclusividad de seis meses para los holdings anónimos que financien el proyecto. Su método práctico de mano que eligieron tampoco es ampliable como otras soluciones actualmente en producción, como la que ofrece Barometer. A diferencia de NewsGuard, Barometer utiliza la estructura GARM (La Alianza Global por Medios Responsables), el cual es auditable públicamente y no se centra en la exclusividad con un inversor particular. La opinión de nuestro equipo en La descarga es que el problema de la seguridad de la marca no debe resolverse con soluciones propietarias, sino con estructuras accesibles y fáciles de replicar. Otra vez, J. Clara Chan de Hollywood Reporter tiene algunos desarrollos divertidos en el mundo de los podcasts. Publicado el martes pasado, el artículo: The Booming Business of Kids’ Podcasting (El Floreciente Negocio de Podcasts Infantiles), escrito por Chan, ofrece un resumen de la enorme atención que están recibiendo los podcasts para niños. Chan dice, “Los podcasts en la categoría de infantiles y familia han visto un aumento del 20 por ciento en el alcance de audiencia desde 2019, según el informe del Spoken Word Audio Report 2021 publicado por NPR y Edison Research. Las adaptaciones de podcasts de exitosos programas infantiles están proliferando, mientras que, por el contrario, los estudios de cine y televisión se están involucrando más temprano de lo acostumbrado para adquirir propiedad intelectual de podcasts dirigidos a los niños”. Es probable que ese número del 20 por ciento sea bastante bajo, como se explica en el blog en Medium escrito por Lindsay Patterson sobre cómo la categoría de infantiles y familia necesita una revisión completa. Independientemente de dónde esté el número, es suficiente para que algunos protagonistas se interesen en el contenido de podcasts para niños. Spotify ha producido un podcast derivado de la exitosa serie de videos sensoriales para niños pequeños llamada CoComelon. GBH Kids está produciendo una adaptación para continuar la famosa serie de PBS Kids recientemente concluida: Arthur (también conocido en español como Arturo). En el lado opuesto de la ecuación, Warner Brothers está optando por los derechos de televisión del podcast inédito: 20 Million Views de Gen-Z Media. Ben Strouse, director ejecutivo de Gen-Z media, contó mientras hablaba con Hollywood Reporter: "Todos buscan buena propiedad intelectual, especialmente buena propiedad intelectual de familia, la cual es con la que contamos". Como han descubierto YouTube, la televisión, y todos los demás medios de comunicación: crear contenido para entretener a los niños es lucrativo. Ahora, el podcasting solo le toca equilibrar la publicidad para audiencias jóvenes con una legislación como la ley de protección de la infancia en internet, la cual restringa severamente las prácticas publicitarias tradicionales. El miércoles, Michael Korsunsky publicó, en la editorial Adweek, un artículo de opinión llamado "How Publishers Can Lessen Their Dependence on FAANG" o en español: Cómo los editores pueden disminuir su dependencia de las FAANG”. Korsunsky empieza con un resumen del presunto acuerdo en el que Google ofreció beneficios a Facebook, tal como tarifas de publicidad digital más bajas, a cambio del apoyo de Facebook al programa de Google llamado Open Bidding. FAANG es una sigla de los cinco protagonistas más grandes en tecnología que consisten en Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix y Google. Y estas noticias hacen aparecer que la F y la G del acrónimo están juntas en cama. Además, Korsunsky no está contento. Él dice: “la noticia es una traición a la confianza de los editores, y destaca una vez más el dominio abrumador del jardín amurallado; y por lo tanto, debe tratarse como un punto de referencia para todos los especialistas en marketing digital.” Korsunsky cree que es hora de vencer los oscuros mercados abiertos y recibir con gusto transacciones directas y transparentes en los mercados privados. ¿Qué significa esto para los podcasts? Como industria, el podcasting está mejor posicionada para expandirse con programática a través de mercados privados, brindando más transparencia y mejores relaciones que los mercados abiertos. Si los anunciantes aceptan encontrar esta solución más preferible FUERA del podcasting, es probable que aumente las ventas programáticas DENTRO del podcasting. Manuela: Otra vez le traemos impactantes noticias publicadas en Twitter. El lunes, el director ejecutivo de Digital Content Next, Jason Kint, publicó un hilo de Twitter analizando las novedades en una demanda de privacidad contra Google en las cortes en el norte de California. La orden judicial exige que Ernst & Young, el auditor independiente de Google, renuncie inmediatamente a todos los archivos relevantes para la demanda. También se le ordena a Google que muestre motivos por los cuales no deben ser sancionados teniendo en cuenta la nueva información que sugiere que Google supuestamente ordenó a Ernst & Young que retuviera más de seis mil documentos confidenciales relevantes para el caso. Es una mala imagen que Ernst & Young participe de esta manera para Google, considerando que ellos realizan la gran parte de la auditoría en toda la industria publicitaria,” fin de cita. Además de las implicaciones de la industria publicitaria, Ernst & Young es una de las principales empresas de auditoría para certificaciones, como las del IAB, el Interactive Advertising Bureau. Bienvenidos al segmento del podcast: get that money, un breve resumen de las rondas de financiación de nota en que participaron compañías de podcasts durante la última semana El martes, Libsyn consiguió 4,75 millones de dólares en nueva financiación La startup de podcasts Kaleidoscope aseguró 3,5 millones de dólares en fondos y un trato de producir seis programas con iHeartMedia Para este segundo y último segmento, queremos destacar varias historias que no pudimos incluir en el episodio de hoy, pero que vale la pena revisar.
