NEWS: 


Spooler's "dynamic, real-time audio" publishing system
launched last week. According to an analysis by John Spurlock, on
its first day, Spooler helped The Refresh from Insider to produce
five editions of their podcast. 


A new podcast platform, Spooler, has launched. It's founded
by a who's who of podcasting, including CEO James O. Boggs,
formerly Head of Podcasts at Apple; CCO Andy Bowers, co-founder
of Slate Audio and Megaphone; CTO Dan Benjamin, founder of
Fireside·fm and the 5by5 podcast network, and Exec Producer Kerry
Donahue, former EP at WNYC. 


 Amazon has released Amp, a “live radio app” seen as
their version of Clubhouse or TwitterSpaces. 


It’s available in the US for iOS users only in a waitlist;
it’ll enable you to DJ your own music show (with “tens of
millions of licensed songs” they say), and you can take callers,
too. Amp’s website is live, and you can download the app to join
the waitlist.


YouTube is offering podcasters up to $50,000 to film their
shows and paying podcast networks up to $300,000, according to
Bloomberg’s Ashley Carman.


TikTok on the clock, but the party don’t stop: except, says
Rephonic, podcasters are ignoring TikTok. Twitter is
significantly over-represented across all podcasts, the company
summarises; but TikTok has by far the highest average number of
followers.

Is TikTok getting into podcasting? TikTok is hiring for
someone to work in their “Podcast Operation” in Sydney NSW,
Australia.

TikTok is launching its own music marketing and distribution
platform, SoundOn
