• Daniel J Lewis has launched Pod Chapters in beta, offering AI-generated chapter creation for podcasters
• Patreon is enhancing creator pages with customization options and domains, pointing to a trend of creator-owned portals
• YouTube broadcast its first exclusive NFL game to 17 million global viewers as sports content grows in importance
• Growing concerns about AI-generated podcast content as companies flood platforms with low-quality, automated shows
• New York Times is closing its dedicated audio app to integrate audio content into its main news app
• Discussion of protocol integration between ActivityPub, the AT protocol, and Nostr for better social web interconnection
