• Above: Spotted at the Greater Toronto Area podcaster meetup last week, John and Jennifer from the Canadian Podcast Awards, and Arys Déjan, host of The Who & How Club. They’re preparing for PodCamp Toronto next month.


• There will be a federal election this year in Australia, and the current Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has chosen his first long-form interview to be on independent podcast News Club from The Squiz.


• The US certainly seems to be locked-on to shows from the Locked On Podcast Network. The company claims 358 million listens and views in 2024; an increase of 20% year-on-year.
