Podcast news from Podnews
There’s a bug in Apple Podcasts in iOS 18, which is marking shows as “played” when the user hasn’t, actually, played them.
One in three Spotify users in Spain are listening to podcasts, says new data from the company shared at a recent Madrid event called Next in Podcast. Nine out of ten users of video podcasts watch them in the foreground, says the data.
Apple Podcasts has expanded its transcripts to now include a further eight languages: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch. Apple Podcasts can now also detect when more than one language is spoken in an episode. The company says that more than 80 million episodes have transcripts. Creators who prefer to provide their own transcripts can do so through RSS using a supporting podcast host.
