Podnews Weekly Review

Special Guests:

Dan Misener- co-founder Bumper

• Dan Misener has looked at the new topics that Apple Podcasts is automatically allocating to shows (see our coverage on Nov 15, including our topics viewer). He's produced a number of network maps, designed to show links between different shows; and produced episode topic maps for every category in Apple Podcasts. 

Trevor Bell  - Podcast Producer at The Iron Fist Velvet Glove Podcast

• Trevor argues that Value4Value is good for podcasting but rewarding podcasters with Satoshis is too early and other means of monetisation maybe better for now. 

Show Notes and Links 

• Seeing loads of downloads from a mysterious app called Dalvik? You're not alone; they're all coming from Samsung Android phones, and we understand that the downloads are related to Samsung Free, the company's podcast app.
  
  
• Acast is encouraging the use of visual descriptions in podcasts, to make content more accessible for blind or low-vision people.  Acast has launched a self-serve platform for podcast advertising. 
  
  
• Hear the early days of podcasting in a special documentary, just added to Podnews Extra.
  
  
• Disctopia and Alby have added integration with “value 4 value” payments.
