Has the Audience Already Redefined Podcasting? | New Media Show

Are Podcast Networks Becoming Creator Networks?

Live today on New Media Show #666 at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT, I’m joined by Greg Wasserman, Head of Relationships at RSS.com, to ask a bigger new media question: Are podcast networks becoming creator networks?

Podcasting is still important, but audiences now experience podcasts as YouTube shows, Spotify videos, Apple Video Podcasts, livestreams, clips, newsletters, communities, and creator-led media brands. That changes the network model.

The future may be less about simply representing shows and more about helping creators build trust, audience relationships, monetization, AI transparency, community, live experiences, and platform-native distribution.

Greg also hosts Podcast Network Insights: Understanding the Business of Podcast “Networks”, a new show exploring how podcast networks actually operate, how they make money, how they grow shows, and how creators can decide whether to join, leave, or start a network of their own.
