Daniel Ek announced in a memo that Chief Content Officer Dawn Ostroff is to leave the company; "Alex [Norström] will take on the responsibility for the content, advertising and licensing work going forward".The number of new podcasts has dramatically dropped by 80% in two years, according to data reported this week. Except… as we explore today in a deep-dive article, that data point doesn’t tell the whole story. In fact, podcasting is in a much better place.Buzzsprout has announced a podcast subscription tool. You can choose from recurring support, or premium content only available to your supporters; the company takes a fee of 15%.
