Manage episode 496070138 series 3552050
Is listening to podcasts at double speed harming your cognitive function? A new study says it might be. Today, one of our news stories highlights recent research on cognitive overload and its implications for the way we consume content. We also take a moment to honor the life and legacy of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who recently passed away in a tragic accident. His final podcast episodes and a heartfelt video message remind us of the power of showing up for others. Later in the show, we explore how Substack is positioning itself as more than just a platform for writers, following a $100 million funding boost that’s fueling new podcast features. We also spotlight a Shark Tank-style pitch idea for indie podcasters, talk about the latest events and award wins, and share updates on podcast charts and social media tools. The podcast industry is buzzing, and we’re here to keep you well informed.
