387 - Podcasts on Netflix, Patreon’s Huge Payout, & New Listening Habits Revealed
Episode Description
Imagine opening Netflix and seeing your favorite podcasts right next to your favorite TV shows. That’s the future Spotify and Netflix are building together, and it’s one of several hot headlines we’re jumping into today. We also look at new research from Edison showing when listeners actually hit play, Patreon's jaw-dropping $10 billion milestone that proves creators are cashing in, and how the hit kids’ podcast Brains On took back control from corporate hands. Add in a few fresh updates from around the creator world, and you’ve got one question left to ask…are podcasts becoming as standard as the new streaming shows?
