Consuming podcasts on TV has doubled in the UK in the past two years, according to Edison Research's The UK Podcast Consumer 2025, which was released yesterday.

Steve Boom of Amazon doesn't want us to think that the Wondery reorg is anything to worry about for the industry at large.

Podcasting at an industry level is doing incredibly well, he tells the Ankler in an interview today.

And he adds, I think it's doing really well here too.

He also suggests that narrative shows are monetized better when supported by subscriptions rather than purely an ads revenue stream.

Boom also spoke with Variety, where he claimed an acceleration of video podcasting is really what prompted this restructuring.

Well, we've spoken to other people, including Dan Granger from Oxford Road.

There were a lot of smart people that made that a real prestige brand in the space.

And Sean King from Veritone.

That restructuring kind of is a little bit more of a recalibration into more potentially integrated audio ecosystems.

You can hear more from both of those in the Pod News Weekly Review this week.
