• Sir Paul McCartney is the guest on two Goalhanger shows this week - The Rest is Entertainment (asking questions from listeners) and The Rest is History (going into more detail on Sir Paul's life). For noting - the shows were released to paid members early; and it's smart to get double the exposure by using two shows on the network. (He has a new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, out May 29).
• Exclusive: DAX US and Captivate have announced a new unified monetisation suite for US creators. Captivate creators will gain streamlined access to integrated monetization tools through Captivate’s Ad Marketplace, powered by DAX’s programmatic advertising capabilities. Rob Walch, VP of Podcast Relations, said it was "a meaningful step forward in simplifying podcast monetization for creators".
