Happy Halloween! Today, we’re joined by a spine-tingling guest—or should we say phantom intruder from the dark side of podcasting to join us for more podcast news headlines. Did you know that 80% of podcast listeners prefer niche content and often follow hosts across platforms? This was found in Acast’s latest report. We also discuss Spotify’s new comment moderation tools which provide options for podcasters to manage inappropriate comments with blocklists and engagement insights. This leads to a healthy debate on managing negative comments versus using them for audience growth and engagement. If you're looking to stay up to date with all the latest news in the podcast industry, we hope you'll enjoy this conversation. But beware… our guest has some advice that might just send shivers down your spine. Tune in if you dare!
