The Podcast Show is back in May, the latest from podnews.net with Magellan AI.

The Podcast Show London is to return this May, and the event organizers have released

0:13

the first set of speakers and more detail on the event.

0:16

A new feature this year will be the Creator Village, sponsored by Spreaker, a special

0:20

space for creators including a pop-up podcast studio, a business advice and feedback hub,

0:26

and a creator stage with talks. We have a code for you to save money on selected delegate

0:31

passes in our show notes and our newsletter at podnews.net.

The Earbuds Audio Collective has a fancy new website. It offers a weekly newsletter containing

0:40

five podcast episodes according to a theme. A new sales company has launched for podcasters

0:45

and YouTube creators. It's called Amplitude Media Partners and has been formed by John

0:50

Donoghue, who was most recently senior VP of sales at Libsyn's AdvertiseCast.

0:56

Now let's go to the US court, and there's been some action in the National Association

1:00

of the Deaf vs SiriusXM two-year-old legal case, where SiriusXM has been taken to court

1:07

for not producing transcripts for some of its podcasts.

1:10

The lawyers for the National Association of the Deaf furiously say that SiriusXM didn't

1:14

give them any information about its new app, "sandbagging!", "incredibly vague!", "effort to sabotage!",

1:21

and they ask for a further delay. Meanwhile, SiriusXM's lawyers furiously say that SiriusXM

1:26

had a new app on December 12, which they told the other side about within two months, and

1:31

it does, some, transcripts now, and they allege bad faith on behalf of the National Association

1:36

of the Deaf's lawyers. "Feigned surprise!", "acting improperly!", "tenuous assertions!", but they're

1:41

also asking for a further delay. Anybody would think lawyers are paid for by the hour. Meanwhile,

1:46

Apple Podcasts will roll out transcripts for almost 100% of shows within the next few

1:51

months. So in the courts, the host of The Fighter and the Kid, Brendan Schaub, has lost a legal

1:57

claim against YouTuber Yew Neek, also known as Kyle Swindells. Schaub claimed that a reaction

2:04

video by Swindells used Schaub's copyright material, and Schaub's lawyers managed to get

2:09

YouTube to shut Swindells' channel for a two-year period while the case was ongoing.

2:14

The judge ruled that Swindells' use of Schaub's material was fair use. However, Swindells,

2:20

who didn't use a lawyer, was unable to argue for additional sanctions against Schaub for

2:25

harassment. While "troublesome", the judge said it was "conduct typical of our adversarial

2:31

system." Elsewhere, AMFM radio and podcasts deliver decision makers for business-to-business advertisers.

2:39

That's according to new data, analyzed by Cumulus Media and Westwood One's Pierre Bouvard.

2:44

Podcast Follower is a script that gets you an email containing a weekly digest of

2:48

all the podcasts you listen to, which is quite nice. Apple Podcasts appears to be removing

2:53

suspicious five-star ratings from some podcasts.

2:57

TuneIn is working on a new way for podcasters to submit and manage their podcasts in their

3:02

directory, and while it does so, they've removed their form to let us add podcasts there.

3:08

We hope it's back shortly. And in further reading today, CEO of Acast Ross Adams writes positively about AI in podcasting

3:16

in PodBible magazine, and the DW Academy interviews Paul McNally about the good, the bad, and

3:22

the ugly of AI in podcasting and journalism.

3:26

In People News, Peter Levin has joined Realm's Board of Advertisers. He was co-founder and

3:31

CEO of Nerdist Industries, an early podcast network, in 2012, and he started a newsletter

3:38

business in 2009. And Dom Scott has joined broadcast composition and sound design agency

3:45

Mcasso, as director of business relations he was with Wise Buddha.

3:51

And in podcast news, the Media Leader podcast has Spotify's UK sales chief, Ed Couchman,

3:56

on as a guest: his ambition for the industry is to make it worth $10 billion in revenue.

4:03

In 2006, while filming for BBC Top Gear, Richard Hammond broke his brain, suffering severe

4:10

head injuries and a high-speed crash. Who We Are Now with Izzy and Richard Hammond is

4:15

a brand new podcast from Richard and his daughter, driven by his mental health and emotional

4:19

state following the accident, with guests and open and honest discussions about the

4:24

big topics it's new today.

4:32

4:39

social media manipulation during the trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. There again

4:44

will be OK, there's no elections happening this year. And season two of so ambitious

4:49
