You what's going on with podcast measurement from Brisbane? The latest from Podnews.net with connection free editing from Hindenburg Pro. Ten podcast companies are still not certified for the latest version of the IAB's podcast measurement guidelines, in spite of being asked to do so by the end of 2022. More than a year later, the IAB's list of compliance companies shows Adswiz, anchor, Buzsprout, Captivate, Chartable Libsyn, Megaphone, Podbean, Podtrack and Simplecast are still only compliant to version 20 of the guidelines, something that means they will lose current status, according to the IB Tech lab. The organization also now requires companies to recertify annually, but of 28 compliant companies, only six have recertified in the last twelve months. An IB spokesperson told Pod News last month that we do have several companies.

In process of recertification, and we do expect them to be completed by the end of the year. We will offer a little flexibility to these companies if they are not entirely complete by the end of December so they won't lose certified status.

Now the only company that did recertify last month was Soundstack, which achieved version two, one certification on December 31.

One in five Internet users listen to podcasts on Himalaya, says the company. It shared $9.8 million with its podcast hosts, and Podtrack published its rankers for December 2023. Global downloads for the month were down 19% month on month and 24% year on year. The company blames Apple Podcasts changes the rancor lists participating publishers only timers and tech staff, and podcast AI is to add automatic speaker recognition to its platform, with the AI tool automatically identifying the speakers. John Spurlock has posted data from op three showing total downloads from Spotify and from Apple Podcasts, and a significant drop off is visible for Apple Podcasts. Since November the first, the podcasting 20 show regularly receives boostergrams and donations to help run the podcast index. In total, over the last few years, Chad Farrow calculates it's earned $70,000 in donations, plus a further $40,000 in micro payments.

No Apple Podcasts app for Android, but I still predict that we'll see Apple podcasts on more platforms in 2024. Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson has joined iHeart podcasts for its new season, which launches today. The show aims to not only have some laughs, but maybe inspire some people along the way with universal tales of what it's like to grow up with brothers and sisters. If you're bored of the hits, Unsung is a six part series on forgotten music luminaries the likes of Charles Mingus, Wendy Carlos, and Jacob Miller.
