Today is my last day at Hot Pod and @verge. It's been a challenging and rewarding two years covering the podcasting industry, and I will miss my time here dearly. I shared some parting thoughts (and a whole lot of thank yous): theverge.com/2024/4/18/24134…

“The beauty of podcasting is that, as a creator, you have a deep relationship with your audience. They travel with you from week to week, or day to day.” —Stephen Dubner interviewed by @arshapiro90 at @onairfest

Today at Hot Pod at @onairfest, @arshapiro90 asked @iraglass what he’s listening to. He took out his phone, scrolled, and answered. Here’s a playlist ft. @bbboatclub, @lrmayer, @HacksOnTap, @ToothandClawPod, @PJVogt, & more (via @spotifypodcasts): open.spotify.com/playlist/1J…

Steel and 123 other House GOP members sponsor the Life at Conception Act, which would "grant equal protection" to "each and every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization." It also mentions cloning. No carveout for IVF.

The new multi-year deal will allow for the show to be distributed on YouTube, Apple, and others. Video will also be available on YouTube, unlike the new Call Her Daddy arrangement.

Some good podcast news: @Slate has acquired Death, Sex & Money from @WNYC We're beyond thrilled to have @annasale and @deathsexmoney at Slate!
New: WNYC laid off staff and cut shows last year, including the well-known and respected podcast Death, Sex & Money. Now, Slate is buying it. (Yay for some good podcast news!) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

So @Law360 and @LexisNexis management have decided to discontinue our weekly news podcast Pro Say for reasons that have not been sufficiently explained to me. I disagree with the decision and will keep pressing for answers, but it's goodbye for now. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
