James Cridland and I just finished recording our annual Podnews Weekly Review predictions show for 2026. James talks about why the loose definition of the term 'podcasting' could hurt our industry. How unchecked AI slop could kill podcasting. Why it's "The Podcast Industrial Complex" versus the rest of the industry. Plus the role of video podcasting and the pending challenge of Netflix. image
1/3 - Premium RSS In 2026 I believe podcasters will earn more money from premium content (paid) than advertising. Last year the US podcast advertising market was worth $2.4bn, however Patreon alone paid creators $2bn from premium content. Source: (Podnews)
