Interesting to see that the BBC's axed premium rate voting - Strictly et al will all now be online voting only (with a BBC Account).

Trying a new thing, recapping all the media podcasts in a weekly email from @themediaclub.com. Tell me what you think! open.substack.com/pub/themedia...

A feisty podcast this week!

New data from Edison Research shows that new podcast consumers are getting into the medium through video. Important to think about if your focus is on growing your audience. New Podcast Consumers Actively Engage with Video Content www.edisonresearch.com/new-podcast-...

Interesting that Apple are making their radio stations more accessible by listing them in TuneIn. An eventual realisation that radio works by being in the places that your listeners are... www.globenewswire.com/news-release...

Well done to the @funkidslive.com team, working hard on a Bank Holiday Monday chatting to listeners live and counting down the top 100 Disney songs!

Very much looking forward to seeing Season 2 of Last One Laughing.

Watch me walk and talk at the same time.

Great to see the new lineup of Last One Laughing!

The MS originally stood for Microsoft - so why keep that bit either!

Watching the ChatGPT 5 launch, with them talking about their great team and the super-intelligence they're bringing forward, whilst simultaneously none of them are capable of looking at the right camera.

If you've missed @mattdeegan.com talking about the latest RAJAR figures on the show, don't worry, you can get your fix by listening to Matt on Radio 4's Feedback... pod.fo/e/30c713

Looking forward to joining Feedback on Radio 4 today at 3.30pm to talk radio ratings. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

A good listen!

Fun listening to @lloydiejl.bsky.social talk about our @funkidslive.com Science Weekly Live tour on the @radioacademy.bsky.social podcast this week. pod.fo/e/30b70b

A great website for a podcast that generates lots of news and content!

Lovely write up from @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social about the new @funkidslive.com show 360 Seconds. observer.co.uk/culture/audi...

Just looking at Audioboom and Acast's half yearly reports (you need something to do of a lunchtime). I was interested to see what their average RPMs were. In other words how much money do they generate for 1,000 'listens'. For Acast it's £41 and for Audioboom, pretty similar, at £44.

Congratulations to the @funkidslive.com team who've got two British Podcast Awards nominations. One for the Fun Kids Science Weekly in the Education category and the other for Best Network or Publisher. Well done to the team!

We've been tracking the effect of AI summaries on @themediaclub.com, some new data just dropped. If your business is built on SEO, eek.

A really fun launch from the @funkidslive.com team. Listen on the radio, as an audio podcast or watch as a video show.

Lovely to be quoted alongside @scottygb.bsky.social in this video podcast piece by James Warrington in The Telegraph. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Ofcom have made some recommendations to "ensure public media's survival". I talk to their broadcasting boss, @cns2211.bsky.social on a special episode of @themediaclub.com

Some questions to ask when thinking video...

Fun to welcome @clivedickens.bsky.social to the sofa for the first time!

A great project! Morrisons working with us at @funkidslive.com! www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/morr...

Always love when the annual content budgets for the BBC networks are published: R1 £41m, 1X £9m, R2 £49m, R3 £37m, R4 £84m, 4X £4m, 5L £57m, 5LSX £6m, 6M £13m and AN £7m (and that's before transmission, marketing etc is added on). I continue to be professionally jealous.

Lyse Doucet needs Nick Robinson's agent.

25 years ago this lot went into a house and changed TV.

Fun to do a Sky News hit this morning with @mattbarbet.bsky.social to talk BBC investigations!

It seems Gregg isn't going quietly.

Such an interesting story!

Good piece on breakfast TV from @taraconlan.bsky.social rts.org.uk/article/what...

Great to have Tim over from Australia and on the show this week.
