Industry Moves and Expansions
The podcasting world continues to be dynamic. Analytics and management solution Podstock has secured agreements with sports media brands like Goalhanger and Playmaker, adding to its existing roster which includes Locked On and Blue Wire. Meanwhile, Acast reports a 44% rise in sports listening during major sporting events and has released its "Sports Podcast Game Plan."
In a significant move, Acast will now represent Slate's podcast portfolio, bringing over 1.5 million weekly listens to the platform. Slate views this as a "crucial step in scaling our podcast network while maintaining our unique editorial voice."
Audioboom has announced the acquisition of the popular true crime podcast "RedHanded" from Wondery. The show, a three-time winner of the Gold Listener’s Choice Award at the British Podcast Awards, garners over 30 million downloads annually.
