There are no changes in the top 5 podcasts or the top 5 publishers (iHeartPodcasts are still #1 for podcasts); month on month, total downloads were flat for the top 20 publishers, and down 3% year-on-year. For sales networks, Acast (#2) closed the gap on Wondery (#1). The ranker measures participating publishers only.
• The BBC has reached agreement with Amazon to carry its podcasts on Amazon Music in the UK. The agreement was made two years and ten months after Amazon Music's podcast service launched.

• New show The Messi Effect is everything about legendary soccer player Lionel Messi, except the soccer. It's a glamorous exploration of the magnetic allure and larger-than-life impact that Messi's presence brings to the city of Miami and Major League Soccer: the glitz, glamour, and cultural phenomenon surrounding the iconic Argentinean maestro's arrival in Miami to play for Inter Miami: the larger-than-life parties, star-studded events, and the fashion-forward lifestyle. It's from The Shark Deck.
• In 1989 Bob Bierenbaum moved to Las Vegas. Every single Jewish woman over 30 thought he was the perfect man: a Jewish plastic surgeon who spoke several languages and flew his own private plane. But when a group of his ex-girlfriends discover that his wife, Gail Katz, went missing and is presumed dead, they go from dating him to investigating him. The Girlfriends is a compelling true crime series produced by iHeartPodcasts and Novel in collaboration with domestic and sexual violence prevention charity NO MORE, and launches today.
• Audio drama BOOM returns for a new season today. Produced by Stak, it's set at the turn of the millennium in the offices of Enron, with dial-up modems, big hair, soaring stock prices (or not) - and an email from the future. We're promised a timeless, mystifying story of greed and the human condition.
