A girl signs up for a class. A couple hires an accountant. A group of co-workers decides to pool their money and buy a couple of lottery tickets. In the beginning, they're full of hope and optimism — and then something turns. Stories of good ideas gone bad. Prologue: Paul was a cop. One night he was pulling second shift when he had a perfectly good idea: He'd stretch out in the back seat and take a little nap during his break. He fell right asleep, and slept well until he woke up and realized the funny thing about the back seats of cop cars: The doors don't open from the inside. Paul is author of the book Bad Cop: New York's Least Likely Police Officer Tells All. (8 minutes)Act One: It was two months into the tour. Katie Else and the rest of the Riverdance cast had been performing eight shows a week. They decided to pool their money for the Mega-Millions lottery. Lotto fever gripped the cast. They started to genuinely believe they would take home about $2 million each, and quit Riverdance the next day. They took the stage the night of the drawing and pulled off their best performance ever, "For the Lotto!," trying to direct their energy towards the win. An hour later, at the hotel bar, the numbers came in. (17 minutes)Act Two: After years of neglecting their personal finances, Joel and his wife finally decide to sort things out. They hire a tax accountant named Len, whose casual manner is a real comfort, at first. But then, "casual" turns into "drunk" and then it's clear that he's just plain delinquent. Joel tries to take his business elsewhere, but Len refuses to let go of their file. He begs for a second chance, which it seems, came too late. Joel Lovell is executive editor at Pineapple Street Media. (8 minutes)Act Three: Davy Rothbart was on a 136-city tour appearing on morning TV talk shows to promote his book Found: The Best Lost, Tossed, and Forgotten Items from Around the World. Just before one appearance he had what seemed like a great idea at the time. Without letting the host know, he tested it out, live, on-air. Davy is the creator of Found Magazine and author of the book of essays My Heart Is An Idiot. (6 minutes)Act Four: When Elspeth was a girl, she wanted nothing more than her father's attention. He was busy, a doctor, and distant. One day he agrees to put on a volunteer seminar for their church, about his area of expertise: "The Function of the Heart." Elspeth and her best friend are the only two kids who show up, and Elspeth is attentive and engaged, the perfect student. It was an incredible experience for her, the best day she's ever spent with her dad...she thinks. That is, until her mother takes her aside and explains her big mistake.

Life is freaking hard. We are all doing hard things every single day – things like loving and losing; caring for children and parents; forging and ending friendships; battling addiction, illness, and loneliness; struggling in our jobs, our marriages, and our divorces; setting boundaries; and fighting for equality, purpose, freedom, joy, and peace. On We Can Do Hard Things, Glennon Doyle, author of UNTAMED; her wife Abby Wambach; and her sister Amanda Doyle do the only thing they've found that has ever made life easier: Drop the fake and talk honestly about the hard things including sex, gender, parenting, blended families, bodies, anxiety, addiction, justice, boundaries, fun, quitting, overwhelm . . . all of it. We laugh and cry and help each other carry the hard so we can all live a little bit lighter and braver, free-er, less alone.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode is brought to you by McDonald'sOn this episode Rachel kicks it with friends, writers and hosts of the WILDLY successful podcast, WILD, Megan Tan and Erick Galindo.  “WILD” Season 2 picks up the story that Megan tells in the Season 1 episode “How Do I Love Someone,” with Megan broken-hearted but still looking for the love of her life. Meanwhile, Erick's hope for finding true love in the style of his favorite rom-coms has been all but dashed. Together, Erick and Megan present a powerful and surprising longform story about love – for other people and for one's self – through an experimental format that fuses documentary-style conversation with cinematic fictional flashbacks performed by a cast of actors led by Melinna Bobadilla (Orange is the New Black, Gentefied), Gabrielle Ruiz (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and comedian Atsuko Okatsuka (The Intruder).Erick is a Telly Award and James Beard Foundation-winning Latino filmmaker, journalist, and culture writer who has published and produced work for the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, KPCC/LAist and more. In addition to “WILD,” Erick is the creator, head writer, executive producer and host of hit podcasts including “The Ballad of Chalino Sanchez” and “Out of The Shadows.” He is also the co-creator, writer and executive producer of “The Mexican Beverly Hills, a sitcom currently in development at CBS.Previously named Producer of the Year by Adweek, Megan is a producer for LAist Studios, where she created and hosted “Snooze,” a joyful, feel-good podcast about how people conquer the things they have been putting off. While at LAist Studios, she co-created “WILD” and produced the critically-acclaimed and award-winning series “California Love.” With a background in photojournalism and documentary film, she started her own audible-visual style while hosting, producing, and managing Radiotopia's “Millennial.” She previously produced shows and episodes for Gimlet Media's “The Habitat,” Pineapple Street Media, TED, WNYC's “Radiolab,” “This American Life,” NPR's “All Things Considered,' and KALW's “The Stoop.” This episode is supported by Topo Chico Hard Seltzer 

I really don't want this to be a podcast where I talk about radio, an industry I left in 2017 after almost 20 years.  But for the second straight week, we've got a radio company who's trying to break podcasting.Last week it was iHeartRadio, and their sketchy practice of buying podcast downloads as ads in video games.  How sketchy was that? Well depends on who you ask.   This week, it's Audacy, formerly Entercom, and CBS Radio before that.  They're the company that saw how badly ClearChannel and iHeart screwed up the radio business, and said, effectively, "Hold my beer."Most radio companies have invested heavily in the digital space, specifically in podcasting.  Audacy is no exception, having purchased Cadence13, and Pineapple Street Media, two leading podcast studios.  Well flash forward to late 2022, and Audacy's stock price is in the crapper, below $1, and facing de-listing from the New York Stock Exchange.  So in a desperate move, they're selling off...you guessed it, Cadence13.  It's the classic "company is in deep trouble, so we need to sell something valuable to save our butts today, future be damned."  Mortgaging the future to save the present.  Now we've seen this before, and it's what happens when companies - radio or otherwise - get too big.  They've got to satisfy bean counters and stock-holders, and they get away from their core missions and what they do well.   That's what happened to ClearChannel when they went public, sold to private equity, declared bankruptcy, and seemingly had layoffs every step along the way.  That's why in a market like Syracuse, New York, there may be more radio stations than live DJ's.The more I think about it, I'm actually kinda glad Audacy is selling off Cadence13.  Maybe it will end up in the hands of someone who can invest in the product, not rob Peter to pay Paul.  Keep screwing up radio, Audacy.  Stay out of podcasting.Onto other podcast news this week.  Kara Swisher is leaving her New York Times podcast and returning exclusively to Vox Media.   But there are reports that the New York Times, who owns all rights to the show, has repurposed her feed to do a new show.   On the surface, it seems like a good idea for marketing and downloads.  Start a show standing on third base, with an already dedicated number of listeners to a certain feed.   Nothing illegal, either.  But what I don't like here is the idea of eroding trust with your audience.   They expect certain content from a show they subscribe to.   Maybe they'll give the NEW content a chance, but I've got to think they'll unsubscribe.  A story to keep an eye on for sure.  The lesson: always be sure who owns your content before you start a show.   For a deeper dive on that, you can check out this months Podcast Superfriends episode, which I cohost.  Link in the show notes. https://www.soundoff.network/show/the-podcast-super-friends/podcast-married/Twitter is rolling out its premium features within Twitter Blue, including podcasts, to Android users.  It had previously been available on just iOS devices.  Personally, it's not enough to get me to pay for Twitter, which I guess differentiates me from Elon Musk.Finally, if you're looking for a higher-end podcast microphone, Logitech has unveiled the Blue Sona Dynamic mic.  It's designed to compete with the microphone I use, the Shure SM7B.  Now the Shure has been used in many radio stations, and by artists from Michael Jackson to Eminem.  I love it.  The Blue Sona is about $50 less ($350 instead of $400), and is designed not to need a signal booster, like a Cloudlifter or a Fethead.  For me, I'm going with the tried and true mic that's been used for 40 years.  Plus, I already have it.  But if you're watching your budget as you build your podcasting setup, the Blue Sona might be worth looking into.  Link in the show notes: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Blue-Sona-XLR-Microphone/dp/B09MRSQDJ7Finally, I'm not one for shoutouts in my podcast, but do have to give one to my colleague Johnny Peterson, aka Johnny Podcasts. He does what I do, based out of Fort Worth, Texas.  He's getting married this weekend,  and Johnny, looking forward to celebrating with you.  His podcast is called Pod Logic, and that he's a great follow on Twitter at Johnny Podcasts. Until next week, stay healthy and stay safe.

This week I have a conversation with award-winning storyteller and audio producer Megan Tan. You may know Megan (like I do) from her first audio series from 2014—a wildly successful documentary/memoir show with Radiotopia called Millennial. I've always admired her unique style of storytelling, and since Millennial she has gone on to produce shows and episodes for Gimlet Media's The Habitat, TED, WNYC's Radiolab,All Things Considered, Pineapple Street Media, and more. In 2020, Megan was named Producer of the Year by Adweek. An episode she made of the podcast WILD (which featured Megan's personal story about love during the pandemic) is my favorite of her recent work, so we began this conversation talking about love and dating in the pandemic.  Then, we get into how her career has transitioned and talk about her most recent podcast, Snooze, a documentary-style show about tackling the things people put off – including something big that Megan's been snoozing on herself. I love it—I listened to it all in one day getting ready for this conversation with Megan. I felt particularly inspired after our conversation and learned a lot from Megan's bits of wisdom from her experience and her Buddhist faith. I hope it has that uplifting quality for you, too, whenever you listen. Show Notes:- Find Megan on the Web | Instagram- Listen to Snooze podcast | Milennial podcast- Listen to Megan's award-winning episode about dating in the pandemic, WILD: How Do I Love Someone- Creative Underdogs/In Process is starting up again!

Thirty years ago, in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights, a car accident set off four days of unrest. Two people died. Dozens were injured. Hundreds were arrested. In this Pineapple Street Studios series, journalist Collier Meyerson explores what came to be known as the “Crown Heights Riot.” It's a story about immigration, New York City's first Black mayor, the rise of Rudy Giuliani, and the Lubavitch Jewish and Caribbean-American communities sitting at the center of it all. To Meyerson, the Crown Heights Riot can help us unlock and understand so many of our modern dilemmas: from police violence and racism to the persistence of antisemitism.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hosted and Produced by Bryan Barletta and Evo TerraAudio Engineering by Ian PowellThis is The Download, the most important business news from the world of podcasting, I'm Bryan Barletta.And I'm Evo Terra. Today we're covering the entirety of the podcast acquisition and funding that happened in 2021. Let's get started.Libsyn, the public podcast hosting platform founded in 2004 had an incredibly active year. They started by raising 25 million dollars and they definitely put it to work, buying podcast creation platform Auxbus, subscription and membership platform Glow for 1.2 million dollars, host and announcer read self-serve advertising marketplace Advertisecast for 30 million dollars, and longtail podcast advertising marketplace PODGO. With the leadership team from Advertisecast taking a more active role, and former board chairman and investor Brad Tirpak coming on as CEO, Libsyn has a chance to really upgrade their image if they can match the momentum of their competitors and integrate a non-trivial amount of companies into one of the oldest podcast platforms still active.Audacy, started the year as Entercom, and after 53 years, rebranded. Kicking it of by acquiring longtail self-serve ad marketplace Podcorn for $22.5m. Podcorn gives Audacy micro-influencer reach contrasting with their higher-profile owned and repped shows. For $40m, they also bought “an exclusive, perpetual license of WideOrbit's digital audio streaming and podcasting technology and related assets and operations. Audacy will continue to operate WO Streaming under the name AmperWave.” Today, Audacy builds and hosts their radio broadcast to podcasts solution with Triton Digital's Omny Studio, owned by close competitor iHeartMedia, while hosting their Cadence13 and Pineapple Street Media shows on Spotify's Megaphone. For a company reporting around $16m in revenue per quarter from podcasting alone, expect to see them fully migrate to AmperWave and bulk up the public offering for the platform.While Global, the UK-based media & entertainment group and parent company of DAX Digital Ad Exchange does offer podcast hosting capabilities, their main appeal for publishers has been monetization opportunities. So acquiring podcast hosting, analytics, and monetization platform Captivate, which is IAB certified and has strong brand appeal for indie podcasts, shows Global's drive to be more accessible. Ad exchanges thrive on inventory, so the purchase of Remixd, which “automatically converts text articles into audio files” provides Global a quick path to more ad supply. With Captivate off the table, hosting platform Buzzsprout, that serves over 100k podcasts, becomes even more appealing for a longtail inventory play.Earlier in the year, iHeartMedia acquired audio ad technology company Triton Digital for 230 million dollars from E.W. Scripps, which purchased Triton Digital for 150 million dollars in 2018 and Omny Studio, part of Triton Digital, in 2019. Like Audacy, iHeart currently uses Spotify's Megaphone to host their podcasts. Getting all their assets to their own platform is clearly on the horizon for iHeart, especially with Triton Digital offering radio broadcast-to-podcast capabilities. Coupled with iHeart's acquisition of Voxnest/Spreaker in 2020 and the announcement of their ad marketplace in both 2020 and 2021, the only offering iHeart currently lacks to compete with their direct competitors, is an attribution product. Will they build it internally like Adswizz or will they acquire a solution?With over 70% of podcasts on Spotify serving from their hosting platform Anchor, Spotify continues their plans of going wide on audio by buying audiobook distributor Findaway and podcast hosting platform Whooshkaa, which specializes in creating podcasts from radio broadcasts. Whooshkaa will be integrated into hosting platform Megaphone, which Spotify purchased last November for 235 million dollars. While Spotify is unlikely to retain Audacy and iHeartMedia as clients, as both purchased their own radio broadcast-to-podcast technology this year, Spotify will continue to attract publishers looking for those features as part of a complete offering. With Whooshkaa acquired, RedCircle is the last independent hosting platform with dynamic ad insertion and programmatic offerings. And SGRecast from StreamGuys is the only independent company offering a broadcast-to-podcast technology. How long either will remain independent is a very good question.Acast started the year by acquiring US podcast technology startup RadioPublic. Keeping inline with their creator-focused image, the main appeal was “RadioPublic's Listener Relationship Management platform, which allows podcasters to foster even deeper relationships with fans”, which played nice with the beta launch of Acast+, their subscription offering. Over the summer, Acast went public, which is it's own kind of acquisition.And though it falls slightly outside of 2021, when Podnews editor James Cridland announced Amazon's late December 2020 acquisition of Wondery for around 300 million dollars, he made the prediction that ART19 would be the logical next acquisition. After all, former CEO of Wondery, Hernan Lopez was an investor in the platform and all Wondery shows were hosted on ART19. In June of this year, the deal for Amazon to acquire ART19 was officially announced. Nice crystal ball, James.And if that wasn't enough, here's a quick rundown of some of the other deals from 2021: In the podcast player space, the Breaker podcast app team joined Twitter while Maple Media acquired the app itself, Daily Mail and General Trust or DMGT acquired discovery focused podcast app Entale, and Automattic, owner of Tumblr and WordPress.com acquired the podcast app Pocket Casts. In the hosting platform space Castos acquires another hosting platform, Podiant and Sounder acquired audio discovery and analytics company Podnods. In the technology space attribution company Podsights acquired linksharing company pod.link and podcast database Podchaser acquired chart and ranking tool Podcharts and listener review tool Podrover. And in the content production space Amaze Media Labs acquired podcast production company Jam Street Media.Finally, a lighting round of the funding deals that happened, to give you some insight into the money moving into the podcasting space.ProductionCopenhagen-based Podimo raised $15.3m in February and $78m in November.Audio Up Media raised $12m.WaitWhat raised $12m.Sounder raised $2.15m in March and $9.5m in December.Casted raised $7m.French-based Paradiso Media raised $5.9m.Quake Media raised $3.5m.Equity Mates Media raised $900k.UK-based Auddy raised $610k.Creator ToolsVerbit raised $157m.Descript raised $30m.Podcastle raised $7m.Zencastr raised $4.6m.Podchaser raised $4m.Riverside raised $2.5m.Hosting & MonetizationInstreamatic raised $6.1m.RedCircle raised $6m.Podsights raised $4m.Backtracks raised $1.6m.Castos raised $756k.Podmetrics and Podcast Network Asia raised $750k.You'll find links to everything we just covered in the episode details, and subscribe to The Download in your inbox so you never miss an episode.I'm Bryan BarlettaAnd I'm Evo TerraSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the leadership team from Advertisecast taking a more active role, and former board chairman and investor Brad Tirpak coming on as CEO, Libsyn has a chance to really upgrade their image if they can match the momentum of their competitors and integrate a non-trivial amount of companies into one of the oldest podcast platforms still active. Audacy, started the year as Entercom, and after 53 years, rebranded. Kicking it of by acquiring longtail self-serve ad marketplace Podcorn for $22.5m. Podcorn gives Audacy micro-influencer reach contrasting with their higher-profile owned and repped shows. For $40m, they also bought “an exclusive, perpetual license of WideOrbit's digital audio streaming and podcasting technology and related assets and operations. Audacy will continue to operate WO Streaming under the name AmperWave.” Today, Audacy builds and hosts their radio broadcast to podcasts solution with Triton Digital's Omny Studio, owned by close competitor iHeartMedia, while hosting their Cadence13 and Pineapple Street Media shows on Spotify's Megaphone. For a company reporting around $16m in revenue per quarter from podcasting alone, expect to see them fully migrate to AmperWave and bulk up the public offering for the platform. While Global, the UK-based media & entertainment group and parent company of DAX Digital Ad Exchange does offer podcast hosting capabilities, their main appeal for publishers has been monetization opportunities. So acquiring podcast hosting, analytics, and monetization platform Captivate, which is IAB certified and has strong brand appeal for indie podcasts, shows Global's drive to be more accessible. Ad exchanges thrive on inventory, so the purchase of Remixd, which “automatically converts text articles into audio files” provides Global a quick path to more ad supply. With Captivate off the table, hosting platform Buzzsprout, that serves over 100k podcasts, becomes even more appealing for a longtail inventory play. Earlier in the year, iHeartMedia acquired audio ad technology company Triton Digital for 230 million dollars from E.W. Scripps, which purchased Triton Digital for 150 million dollars in 2018 and Omny Studio, part of Triton Digital, in 2019. Like Audacy, iHeart currently uses Spotify's Megaphone to host their podcasts. Getting all their assets to their own platform is clearly on the horizon for iHeart, especially with Triton Digital offering radio broadcast-to-podcast capabilities. Coupled with iHeart's acquisition of Voxnest/Spreaker in 2020 and the announcement of their ad marketplace in both 2020 and 2021, the only offering iHeart currently lacks to compete with their direct competitors, is an attribution product. Will they build it internally like Adswizz or will they acquire a solution? With over 70% of podcasts on Spotify serving from their hosting platform Anchor, Spotify continues their plans of going wide on audio by buying audiobook distributor Findaway and podcast hosting platform Whooshkaa, which specializes in creating podcasts from radio broadcasts. Whooshkaa will be integrated into hosting platform Megaphone, which Spotify purchased last November for 235 million dollars. While Spotify is unlikely to retain Audacy and iHeartMedia as clients, as both purchased their own radio broadcast-to-podcast technology this year, Spotify will continue to attract publishers looking for those features as part of a complete offering. With Whooshkaa acquired, RedCircle is the last independent hosting platform with dynamic ad insertion and programmatic offerings. And SGRecast from StreamGuys is the only independent company offering a broadcast-to-podcast technology. How long either will remain independent is a very good question. Acast started the year by acquiring US podcast technology startup RadioPublic. Keeping inline with their creator-focused image, the main appeal was “RadioPublic's Listener Relationship Management platform, which allows podcasters to foster even deeper relationships with fans”, which played nice with the beta launch of Acast+, their subscription offering. Over the summer, Acast went public, which is it's own kind of acquisition. And though it falls slightly outside of 2021, when Podnews editor James Cridland announced Amazon's late December 2020 acquisition of Wondery for around 300 million dollars, he made the prediction that ART19 would be the logical next acquisition. After all, former CEO of Wondery, Hernan Lopez was an investor in the platform and all Wondery shows were hosted on ART19. In June of this year, the deal for Amazon to acquire ART19 was officially announced. Nice crystal ball, James. And if that wasn't enough, here's a quick rundown of some of the other deals from 2021: In the podcast player space, the Breaker podcast app team joined Twitter while Maple Media acquired the app itself, Daily Mail and General Trust or DMGT acquired discovery focused podcast app Entale, and Automattic, owner of Tumblr and WordPress.com acquired the podcast app Pocket Casts. In the hosting platform space Castos acquires another hosting platform, Podiant and Sounder acquired audio discovery and analytics company Podnods. In the technology space attribution company Podsights acquired linksharing company pod.link and podcast database Podchaser acquired chart and ranking tool Podcharts and listener review tool Podrover. And in the content production space Amaze Media Labs acquired podcast production company Jam Street Media. Finally, a lighting round of the funding deals that happened, to give you some insight into the money moving into the podcasting space. Production Copenhagen-based Podimo raised $15.3m in February and $78m in November. Audio Up Media raised $12m. WaitWhat raised $12m. Sounder raised $2.15m in March and $9.5m in December. Casted raised $7m. French-based Paradiso Media raised $5.9m. Quake Media raised $3.5m. Equity Mates Media raised $900k. UK-based Auddy raised $610k.Creator Tools Verbit raised $157m.

Who's bigger? Spotify or Apple?  Well, both....Welcome in to episode 100 of this season of the Jag Show Podcast. Spotify says it's now bigger than Apple in terms of users.  That's from their Q3 numbers.  As always, Tom Webster from Edison Research has a great explainer on this. (Full disclosure: Spotify and Apple are both Edison clients). Webster says that more users prefer Spotify, but Apple still leads the pack in total downloads.https://tomwebster.media/the-crux-of-the-kurfuffle/ Bottom line, use whichever one you like.  I tried going back to Apple after they worked out their bugs, but found I personally liked Spotify's user interface better.  Your mileage may vary.Another battle in podcasting that's heating up is automated transcriptions.  As Amazon makes a big push into the space, they've begun transcribing some of their bigger shows.  If that gets rolled out to all shows, that could make Amazon a bigger player in the podcasting space.  Here's their press release, via PodNews: https://podnews.net/press-release/amazon-music-transcriptsPodcast production house Pineapple Street Media is looking for paid interns for the first half of 2022.  If you want to get into the space, this could be a great opportunity.  Radio people are you listening? I said PAID internships. https://pineapple.fm/internshipAs expected, podcast ad revenue is exploding in 2021, still rising after the initial pandemic boost of 2021. Magellan AI has a deep dive into ad revenue, but the key takeaways are podcast ad spending is up 87% year over year, and 22% since just Q2.  You can download their Q3 full report here: https://www.magellan.ai/resources/reports/q3-podcast-advertising-benchmark-reportHow much can you charge advertisers on your show, and when can you start?  Advertisecast has rates starting at 1,000 listeners per episode.  Rates have gone up in 2021.  For a 30 second ad, it's $18 CPM, so $18 for every thousand listeners you have.  For a 60 second ad, it's $25 CPM.   They also have a cool interactive calculator to figure out your spend, or maybe what you can charge. https://www.advertisecast.com/podcast-advertising-ratesMeanwhile, we'll find out Friday what the going rates are for podcast editing.  Steve Stewart and Mark Deal of the Podcast Editor's Club do an annual survey of their members to figure out average rates and more information.  They will show their results on Friday at 5pm Eastern, in the Podcast Editor's Club and on YouTube.  https://www.podcasteditoracademy.com/2021surveyAnd finally, I still don't understand Facebook's podcast rollout.  I listened to the New Media Show's interview with two Facebook employees, and still don't have much clarification - except that you can connect a show to a page, not a personal profile and not a group.  And it will only show up on mobile, not desktop.     It looks like last week's Jag Show Podcast showed up, with the show notes as a huge glob of text, with the audio under it.   If you have a moment, cruise on over to Jag in Detroit Podcasts on your Facebook mobile app, and let me know what you see.  Until next week, stay healthy and stay safe. Lata!

One of the ways I end up stuck inside during the winter is too much comfort tv. I'll burrow into a cave of old sitcoms from my high school days when all I had to worry about was how not to get caught skipping school. I don't fool myself into thinking the old days are better. I know they're simply different, but sometimes the nostalgia does take over. But Tracy Clayton and Josh Gywnn, hosts of Back Issue, love that nostalgia so much they made a podcast examining it.   Indulgence Josh recommends big cooking projects. Tracy recommends elementary-school-style arts and crafts.   Guests - Tracy Clayton is a writer, humorist, podcaster, and social media expert born and raised in the West End of Louisville, Kentucky. Tracy is co-host of the award-winning podcast Another Round with Heben and Tracy. She loves bourbon, true crime, animals and fancy cheeses, and hates most seafood, all beer, and every owl on the planet. She is the co-creator and co-host of Back Issue. - Josh Gwynn is an audio producer and host from Southern California who has created work for companies like Pineapple Street Media, The New York Times, Netflix, Essence, Stitcher, Mailchimp, and Nike. He is passionate about providing platforms for underserved voices. Given his California roots, Josh describes his vibe as a combination of palm trees, confetti, limes, rhythm, vitamin E oil, melanin, and bones. He is still waiting on a ticket to Oprah's Legends Luncheon. He is the co-creator, co-host, and senior producer of Back Issue.   Sponsors - BetterHelp, a secure online therapy service.

She ends each show with an Indulgence: a recommendation listeners can enjoy with no remorse. There's no such thing as a guilty pleasure when you learn to love it freely!

Edward Wayne Edwards was a manipulative, abusive, narcissistic, compulsive liar who had spent most of his life as a criminal. After his release in 1967, he claimed to be a reformed member of society, touting his life lessons to audiences across the country. That claim, however, couldn't be further from the truth. The truth was that Edward was a serial killer, and no one knew about his crimes until his daughter turned him in over 30 years after his first known murder.Sources:https://ededwardsserialkiller.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/metamorphosis-of-a-criminal.pdfhttps://chameleontruecrimestories.com/who-killed-patricia-kalitzke-and-duane-bogle-f327c5a4baa1https://members.huntakiller.com/blog-articles/growing-up-with-a-serial-killer-how-april-balascio-turned-her-father-inhttps://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a28396659/april-balascio-interview-the-clearing-podcast/Metamorphosis of a Criminal by Edward Wayne Edwardshttps://www.google.com/amp/s/heavy.com/news/laci-peterson-autopsy-photos-murder/amp/Geauga Maple Leaf presshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3TB-OTN-RMhttps://defrostingcoldcases.com/life-sentence-in-1980-high-school-sweethearts-murders/https://wiki.wcpl.info/w/The_Murder_of_William_Lavaco_and_Judith_Straubhttps://projects.jsonline.com/topics/unsolved/chapter-8-ill-see-her-in-heaven.htmlhttps://www.beaconjournal.com/news/20190823/may-5-2010-serial-killer-suspect-reportedly-confesses-to-1977-park-deathshttps://moonlightmurder.tumblr.com/post/190315128821/why-edward-wayne-edwards-is-the-perfect-suspectThe Clearing 2019 Podcast by Josh Dean with Pineapple Street Media and Gimlet Mediahttps://madison.com/news/local/crime_and_courts/edwards-confesses-to-killing-man-he-considered-foster-son/article_99483f50-7a15-11df-a168-001cc4c03286.amp.htmlSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/Killerlocalepodcast)

The Nose had planned to discuss all the scandals around Jeopardy! executive-producer-turned-incoming-host Mike Richards. But then he quit this morning, so The Nose discusses that instead.

And finally: FBOY Island is HBO Max’s first reality TV dating show. It’s not the sort of thing The Nose would normally cover, which is exactly why The Nose is covering it.

Today's episode is part 2 of our Audio Wars coverage. Since 2018 we've tracked over 30 M&A deals on our industry Audio M&A Watch List, like Amazon / Wondery and SiriusXM / Stitcher. There's also been numerous talent and IP licensing deals like Amazon / Smartless and Spotify / Call Her Daddy, as well as upstart fundraisings for companies like MeetCute, BlueWire, and Headgum. Why? Because we're in the Audio Wars, where music streamers are aggressively spending to capture growing listener consumption, and podcasts are proving to be one of the most powerful assets for user acquisition and retention...just like the video streamer wars!

So maybe the beginning of more sequels to come, but definitely once you get us to started on audio, it's tough to keep us under 15 minutes. Chris Erwin:Yeah. Exciting development for the RockWater Roundup. All right. So yeah, last week, a quick recap, as we were talking about the audio wars, where we had written about this on our blog, which is on our website, that we're seeing a lot of capital flows, M&A exclusive licensing deals, venture investments in the audio space. So Spotify buying Locker Room in March of this year, Amazon buying Wondery, Sirius XM, buying Stitcher, exclusive licensing deals for SmartLess and Call Her Daddy, just a lot more. So we talked about, and you did a good job, Andrew explaining why is this happening? And we made parallels into the video streaming wars where there's a land grab for audio listeners. So as audio listenership is going up, a lot of the major platforms are spending aggressively to capture market share. And in addition, I think a lot of platforms, including the social networks like Facebook, like others are looking at audio to create additional stickiness and user engagement on their platforms. Chris Erwin:So it's driving a lot of activity. But something that we often talk about with our clients is we get asked, well, hey, there's all this capital flows right now, but is this going to start to Peter out over the next like couple years? Like, are we in peak podcasts? And it's funny because I've been covering the audio space for multiple years now, I've heard peak podcasts for like more than half a decade. And I think Andrew, that we agree that this is definitely not the case. We think that the audio space is growing a lot more, buyers are going to emerge and we have some specific ideas about that, which we're going to get into now. Andrew Cohen:Absolutely. Yeah, no, this is, if anything, it's just the early innings and the audio wars, I think were the impetus that started off a lot of this capital flow, but it's not like once that kind of land grab is settled, the bubble is going to burst. Because we're already beginning to see new waves of buyers emerge and investors. And definitely think that the audio wars might have been wave one, but we definitely think that wave two, three, four, and who knows how many others are going to follow. Chris Erwin:Exactly. So I think you've broken out there's four different categories of buyers that we're going to get into today. Right? Want to give a quick preview? Andrew Cohen:Yeah. So these are just four. Definitely think that there's even more than this. Even just this week Substack and WordPress got into the audio game. So there's tons of different types of players and stakeholders that a year ago, you would've never thought would be intersecting with audio that are now investing heavily in this space. But four that we're going to talk about today is smart speaker manufacturers, social media platforms, Hollywood and traditional media, and sports, both sports broadcasters teams and sports betting operators, but let's get into it. I know Chris, we've been big on the rise of microcasts, following tailwinds of the boom of smart speakers and how smart speakers might trigger kind of what we're calling the at-homeiffication of audio and the birth of microcasts. So clearly we're big on microcast. We're on one as we speak. So this might get meta, but what do you think, why are smart speakers so exciting in terms of what it can do for audio? Chris Erwin:So, yeah, this is another topic that we've covered extensively on our blog. Smart speakers, we consider it one of the largest new consumer frontiers. So let's first talk some numbers. This year, it's projected that there's going to be over 163 million smart speakers installed worldwide. That's 21% year over year growth, but this install base is going to grow to 640 million by 2024. So in just a few years. Now break out the US, the US is a market leader here with over 90 million devices and 45% year over year growth. And then of note, since COVID Andrew, 35% of US adults smart speaker owners are listening to more news and information. That means that smart speaker podcast listening is going up. And in recent months, Amazon, Google and Apple, they've all announced additions or updates to the smart speaker product suites, signaling that this is a priority sector for them. Chris Erwin:And I think it's also worth noting. I was talking with a new point at the Alexa startup fund just yesterday at DD dash. This is a $200 million dedicated fund to nurture use cases around the smart speaker ecosystem. That feels very reminiscent to me of the YouTube Original channel program that really sparked the growth of digital video that I was a part of over the past decade. So some very exciting developments, but why is this relevant? Why would smart speakers become buyers of audio? Well it's because their product can be very commodified, right? A lot of the audio hardware is similar and we know that Google, Apple, and Amazon are really going to control the leverage in smart assistant integration. So how do these manufacturers build a moat or have competitive differentiation? And we think a proprietary content library, like we see moves in many other goods and services companies. Chris Erwin:So just like how the video and audio streamer platforms are buying media companies and doing exclusive content deals, we think the smart speaker makers are going to start doing the same. And the reality is Andrew, it's already happening. Right? So last year, Sonos invested in QCode series a round, and we expect more speaker brands to follow suit like Amazon, Apple, Bose, Google, Samsung, Sony, and a growing list. But a question I think, we were debating this before is like, how much of a lift is investing in content? How much content is needed and how expensive could that be to make a difference for these manufacturers? And I think that was like a caveat that I raised, but you had a good counterpoint, Andrew. Andrew Cohen:As a reminder, a lot of the leading smart speaker companies are already investing in content. If you look at it, it's Amazon who just acquired Wondery and has Amazon Studios, it's Apple, which is already investing a lot in content. We're hearing that they might be acquiring A24. It's Google that owns YouTube and a bunch of YouTube Originals. So it could be something as simple as when I asked for an update on soccer scores to my Apple smart speaker device Ted lasso is talking back at me. And how cool would that be? Chris Erwin:Ugh, speaking of Ted lasso, I adore that show and I actually was just watching episode one of the new season. So good. Andrew Cohen:Oh, I haven't started the new season yet. No spoilers, but I'm pumped for it. Chris Erwin:Andrew. So okay, a second buyer group here is social media and social audio. So what are you thinking here in terms of like how they expand into this audio buyer verse? Andrew Cohen:Yeah. So really 2021, just speaking of buyers that we had no idea would be involved in audio. A year ago the phrase social audio meant nothing. In 2021 it's everywhere. I mean, Clubhouse raised a series C at a $4 billion valuation, Spotify acquired Locker Room, Twitter acquired Breaker and launched Twitter Spaces. And on top of that, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, Discord, Slack, and Telegram all announced major investments in the live and social audio this year. So as social audio moves into the mainstream and becomes a more prominent feature on all of these platforms, I'd definitely expect social incumbents to become even more acquisitive. I think it's going to help them differentiate from other social audio platforms and other social media platforms by adding exclusive premium content that can compliment their existing UGC offerings and make acquisitions across the podcasting stack, including IP, production, monetization, data, there's all sorts of different stakeholders within the audio universe that I think social media companies are going to start acquiring, investing in, and kind of adding to enhance their overall social audio experience. Chris Erwin:Social audio is interesting Andrew. I was actually, again, in the conversation with this partner rep at the Alexa fund yesterday, they were mentioning that there's some really cool new social audio startups in LA that were not even on my radar. So this definitely feels like it's a fast growing burgeoning ecosystem. And I think we're going to see a lot more developments here in the future. Andrew Cohen:Totally. Very exciting space. So then number three, Hollywood and international studios. So we've already kind of seen a lot of film studios starting to get into audio, definitely expect this to happen more. But what do you think about that? Chris Erwin:I think in 2020 audio became a much more valuable weapon in the streaming wars. And there's a few different angles here as we kind of analyze this world. One was the ability to really amplify marketing. The top streamers use podcast to drive users to their platforms by developing companion content, which what we like to think of as generating cultural relevance around their tent-pole programming. A really good example of this is what HBO did with their tent-pole Chernobyl series. So they produced a Chernobyl podcast in partnership with Pineapple Street Media, a venerable producer in the audio space, where the series creator of Chernobyl joined the host after each episode to discuss the true stories that shaped the scenes, themes, and characters on the show. And I was actually just doing a little bit of online exploration about the show yesterday. And I went on YouTube where they are actually publishing the series. Chris Erwin:The first episode of the season had over 2.5 million views over 1600 comments and over 19,000 likes. Pretty amazing numbers. And I think it speaks to creating once and then you publish this content everywhere and it really hit a global audience. As I was going through the comments, there was feedback from users all over the world. So it's really expanding the global conversation around the hit show. But in addition to marketing and amplification for content and development and acquisition, we've seen actually like the audio, video, and IP pipeline flow both ways. So we've seen top streamers start to extend their IP into audio to launch new franchises and series. A good example is Marvel's recent announcement to launch a new audio series of Sirius XM. So this is similar Andrew, to when Marvel expanded it's franchise into multiple character breakout series on Netflix, right? Like Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, and Daredevil. Chris Erwin:It's now doing a multi-part original scripted audio series called Marvel's Wastelanders, which actually just wrapped its finale episode. What I like about this is that again, it's not just extending the franchise. It's also creating new ways for fans to engage with Marvel and it's facilitating new community dialogue and deeper franchise affinity. So this is very similar to what HBO did with Chernobyl. This partnership now has the Marvel Method Show. It's a weekly podcast on Marvel fandom hosted by Method Man, a rapper known for being an avid comic book reader and Marvel Declassified, it's a nonfiction deep dive into Marvel comics. As part of this to a IP pipeline, what we find even more fascinating is that streamers are looking to audio to incubate and discover new IP and formats and personalities, and to not have to bid on the open market for IP. Right? Chris Erwin:So Homecoming, which came out of Gimlet Media back in 2018, that went onto a exclusive show for Amazon Prime. It had Hollywood heavyweights like Sam Esmail and Julia Roberts behind it. And then, Wondery is one of the largest premium content producers in the audio space. Their Dirty John went to Netflix, done two seasons. Their Dr. Death is now on Peacock. So I think that's pretty exciting because Amazon just bought Wondery and probably that pipeline is going to be exclusive to Amazon Prime platform and Audible. Chris Erwin:So yeah, that's yet another Andrew, very exciting buyer category here. And we think a lot more activity is going to ramp. So Andrew, I think a closing point about streamer activity that is ramping in audio is, you look at Netflix announcing a new head of podcasting over the past month, rumors that Apple is launching a subscription podcast service to bundle with Apple TV plus. But we really haven't seen any audio M&A except for Amazon buying Wondery. And I think we're going to see that change in a big way, going forward, particularly as the streamer wars really ramp up even more. But let's talk about this final fourth category of buyers in sports. Andrew Cohen:Yeah. So over the past year or two, we've seen the booming business trajectories of both audio and sports media, two things that we love talking about, they intersected. And we saw the rise of sports audio, is everything from new player centric podcasts, and podcast network launches like from Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Pat McAfee, and a ton of others. Blue-chip strategic partnerships and joint ventures like what we saw with WynnBets and Blue Wire. We're seeing IP and talent deals like the blockbuster deal between DraftKings and Dan Le Batard's Meadowlark Media. We're seeing MMA like, they're acquisitions of Barstool and The Ringer. DrafKings acquiring VSiN, capital raises again, Blue Wire is a big series A this year and a slew of new sports centric companion podcast launching to drive attention to big marquee events. We're seeing right now, Blue Wire just launched a podcast with NBC to promote the Olympics. Andrew Cohen:So I think with the rise of sports betting and with the rise of sports streaming and how live sports rights are now intersecting with the streaming wars, all of this money is now converging. And definitely think that because of this, I expect to see investments in the audio space from different stakeholders throughout the sports world, from leagues, teams, broadcasters, and betting operators to escalate over the next year or two. So again, stakeholders throughout this ecosystem whose core revenues come from kind of stoking the flames of fandom and live engagement for them, podcast is going to become an even more valuable component in their overall content strategy. And so rather than remain relying on third party podcast networks, which is what we're mostly seeing right now, definitely anticipate that many are going to choose to invest in bringing those capabilities in house via M&A and investment, and definitely excited to see what that looks like. Chris Erwin:Exciting times, Andrew. Well, look, I think we're getting to the end of this. So before we make this into a three-part series, let's wrap this up so. Andrew Cohen:I think so. Chris Erwin:Till next time, Andrew. Andrew Cohen:Later.

This week's show is super special to us because it is a personal podcast full-circle moment. If Marc Maron is considered the Father of podcasting, this week’s guest, Jenna Weiss-Berman is considered the Auntie. Prior to co-founding her groundbreaking podcast network, Pineapple Street Media, Jenna was working in public radio on shows like The Moth. She then joined Buzzfeed to help build out their entire podcast program from the ground up while producing incredible shows such as my all-time favorite podcast, Another Round.After building Buzzfeed’s wildly successful and popular podcast arm, and seeing that many major players--such as Lena Dunham, The New York Times, The Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign, HBO, Netflix, and ESPN--all wanted to create podcasts but didn’t know how to, Jenna and her co-founder Max Linsky left Buzzfeed to change the history of Podcasting as we know it, and launch Pineapple Street Media. Today, Pineapple Street Media produces inventive, award-winning original podcasts: multi-episode narratives, investigative journalism, branded series, and talk shows. Oh! And they have been nominated for two Peabody Awards. Not too bad for a woman who, in her own words, was tired of making audio programs for only white people.

Listen to the first two episodes of The Clearing starting July 18.  When April Balascio was 40 years old, something she'd feared for decades was finally proven true. Her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, really was a murderer. The Clearing is about what came after April called a detective in 2009 to tell him about her suspicions — a call that led to her father's arrest and eventual conviction on multiple murders — and tracks the emotional journey as she and host Josh Dean dig back into her childhood, unravel the truth of her father's life, and overturn a viral online narrative that had turned Edward Wayne Edwards into a kind of serial killer caricature.  Produced by Pineapple Street Media in association with Gimlet.  Learn more about your ad choices.
