I work in the podcast industry (independently). The short daily episodes keep me in-the-know on almost everything going on in this space. Highly recommended for other professionals who are on the other side of the mic

I never miss an episode!!! It’s THE way to learn about the industry and I always find something to add to my queue.

Having this daily summary has been invaluable. I have a morning ritual where I listen along while scanning the Podnews newsletter, and It helps me triage the news of the day and forward along the most salient articles and information to my colleagues. Most grateful for this resource!

Three minutes of podcast industry news made entertaining. James is witty, insightful, and on top of all the latest news.
mjmccready · Apr 2021
Touts itself as a news show but doesn’t disclose the companies that pay him and the boards he sits on. It upsets me to see this show acting as a reliable news source and then committing such malpractice. To cover an industry where you’re being paid, sponsored or employed is a disservice to podcasters
Poddingalong124 · Dec 2025
These guys usually talk about the same half dozen companies and maybe 20 high-profile podcasters every day. They like Adam Curry and open source geek stuff. They hate Joe Rogan and walled gardens. One of them is snarky and entitled, mostly mad at the industry. I appreciate their tenacity and dedication. Their long-form weekend show is good — lots of interviews. This short daily show is just podcast “news” headlines read with bias. So, mostly opinion.
