  • Exclusive: The Spanish public broadcaster RTVE is blocking podcasts from its national radio station RNE in third party podcast apps - and breaking how open RSS works altogether. One app that it’s blocked, AntennaPod, is free on Android and open-source, but its users can see but can’t download RNE shows - in a country where over 80% of people use Android. As we write in a special report today, it’s the latest in a series of public broadcasters trying to limit how the public listen to their shows.

  • The New York Times examines video podcasts, and asks Who Is Watching All These Podcasts? - with anecdotes from NYT readers confirming much of the existing research.

  • The Telegraph in the UK explains How podcasters are taking over TV, suggesting that “the bleeding of audio shows into television poses a new threat to traditional broadcasters”.
