PodcastAI; Fountain; Podcast Guru; and Apple's effect on downloads

Ever considered what your attention is worth when you indulge in
the latest podcast episode? You might just find out as we compare
the value of podcast content with the likes of Netflix and
Spotify, suggesting a fair satoshi range that listeners could
shell out per minute of audio bliss. With podcasting's landscape
constantly shifting, we're joined by Edward Brawer, CEO of
Podcast AI, to delve into how automation and AI tools are spicing
up content creation and answering listener queries with flair.
Fountain's co-founder, Oscar Merry, also drops by to share the
exciting new updates of the Fountain 1.0 app, which promises to
elevate user experience and listener engagement to new
heights.

In our conversation with Edward, we unearth the prospect of B2B
opportunities within the bustling podcast business, discussing
the recent expansion moves by Podcast AI and the potential of
pre-production support using AI technology. On the flip side,
we're also looking into Spotify's foray into audiobooks and how
their latest venture might shape the industry's future. Plus, we
give a hat tip to Kate Cocker's "Everyday Positivity" for her
2000th episode and her charitable efforts with UNICEF, and we
travel the world in a round-up of global podcast happenings—from
Adalicious's new US representation to the rise of erotic podcasts
in Germany.

Wrapping up, we tackle the evolution of podcasting tools with
updates on Activity Pub support, Blueberry's Value Block Time
Splits, and Libsyn's commitment to Podcasting 2.0. As we recount
the year's predictions and set our sights on the future, we leave
you with a treasure trove of insights to mull over during our
short break. Remember, the Weekly Review is just around the
corner, so stay tuned for the freshest scoop on the podcasting
realm. Join us for this episode that's bursting at the seams with
innovation, inspiration, and a good measure of introspection.
