ALBAN'S POD-CAST
Alban did, in-fact, break his wrist attempting to learn to snow board. Let it be known: Jordan was only joking about podcasters signing his arm cast at Podfest and she will not be held responsible for any sign-and-run incidents that occur during Alban's attendance.  

BUZZSPROUT BACKTRACKS
Our podcasters' year-in-review email got a little upgrade!

KEY LISTENING MOMENTS
Audacy recently published "State of Audio: 11 Moments That Matter", which dives into how listeners listen and when they're most open to messaging. It's geared toward advertisers, but there are takeaways that podcasters can use to improve their content, calls-to-action, and ad placement.

BEST DAY TO PUBLISH
Podchaser has created a report that shares the most and least popular days of the week for releasing podcast episodes. The stats were gathered from six months of data from the top 50K podcasts.

2023 PREDICTIONS
Jordan: Rise in podcast & network channels on Roku & Amazon Fire TV
Alban: Going to see a lot of podcasters from major networks & exclusive contracts go independent.
Kevin: Bah humbug.
