🤖 Lenny Rachitsky who runs one of the biggest business newsletters in the world recently announced a new AI driven podcast which is basically an audio version of “Lenny’s Newsletter”. An interesting trend I’m seeing in a few places now.
📡 Spotify said that they paid out over $100 million to podcasters in the first quarter of 2025. Me thinks someone is feeling a little threatened by YouTube’s momentum with podcasts lately.
🇿🇦 Given how much I’ve talked and thought about how podcasts are influencing elections all over the world, this seems like an interesting move by South Africa.
💰 Lemonada Media is getting purchased by PodX Group, for apparently around $30 million.
