NEWS: 


1. Twitter has launched crypto-tipping using the lightning
network: the same tool used by Podcasting 2.0 Value4Value
apps. The tool uses the Strike API. It’s “rolling out”
on iOS.


2. iOS 15's “Private Relay” has gone live: but what effect
will it have on your podcast stats, and on ad-tech?  There’s
also a new 1.25x playback speed control in Apple Podcasts in iOS
15. 


3. Love Apple Podcasts? You can now rate and review inbuilt
iOS apps like Apple Podcasts. At the time of writing, Apple
Podcasts was the company's worst-rated app with just 2.0 stars
after 152 ratings.


4. Apple Podcasts has published its most popular paid
subscriptions channels, and most popular free ones. They have
never done this before. 


5. The world’s #3 podcast app, Google Podcasts, is getting
a full Material You update. “Material You” will be the new style
for Android 12, which is shortly to be released.


6. Research company Statistia has published a map of where
podcasts are most popular. We tell you who are the top 3.


7. IMDb.com have created a great landing page for all of
the winners and nominees from five years of British Podcast
Awards!


8. A new podcast audio checking service called Vib3s has
launched.


9. Podcast hosting company Transistor.fm has teased their
upcoming dynamic audio insertion tool. The system will offer
pre-roll and post-roll.


10. Podcast hosting company Captivate Audio Ltd revealed
their new embeddable podcast player - it’s completely
screenreader accessible, responsive and has a fully customisable
design. The company also promises “a big reveal” later today on
International Podcast Day. (Podland's host is an advisor.)


11. Wondery has launched a kids podcast subscription
service, Wondery+ Kids. For $4.99, the service provides early
access to new episodes and exclusive access to select episodes of
favourite shows.
