Podcasting Just Hit an Inflection Point—Here's What Matters
Live New Media Show: Metrics, 55+ Growth, and Format Flexibility
Join us for a packed 60-minute live episode of The New Media Show with Rob Greenlee and Todd Cochrane tonight at 8pm EST/5pm PST on 7-23-2025, where we break down the most critical news and trends shaping the podcasting and new media landscape this week.
From Edison’s new data showing explosive podcast growth among Americans aged 55+, to urgent calls for a unified audio/video metric model that meets advertiser demands—we’re diving deep into the future of podcasting.
We’ll also explore why creators need to stop choosing between video and audio and instead design content that’s flexible, hybrid, and future-proof. Plus, we examine YouTube’s crackdown on AI-generated podcast-style content, Apple Podcasts’ new artwork rules, and Joe Budden’s top Patreon success.
Whether you're a creator, platform exec, or curious media watcher—this episode is your weekly pulse-check on what matters in podcasting right now.
