Podnews is unrivaled in delivering the day’s headlines from the quickly-growing podcast and audio Industries. James Cridland’s brand of dry wit and insight really makes this news show shine.
Best source of information about the podcast business. And from a wide variety of angles. I really look forward to it every day.
This “news” feed is run by a bunch of virtue-signaling crybabies that’s run to Twitter whenever anyone has the audacity to say anything negative about them. Not a real news source and does not actually do any reporting or fact checking. They do not even solicit a response when posting derogatory and defamatory content. Worthless endeavor and destined to fail eventually.
Great stuff, keep it up!
