2023 has been a tough year for a lot of people in the podcast industry. Years of investment in the space looks to be slowing down, and dozens of companies are reeling because of it. It’s clear to most that the business side of podcasting will have to be more intentional moving forward. To discuss this transition, I’m speaking with Jenna Weiss-Berman, Head of Podcasts at Audacy. Jenna has seen it all in podcasting, from her beginnings in public radio, to co-founding the wildly successful Pineapple Street Studios, and now working as the Head of Podcasts at one of the largest global audio distributors. Her voice carries a lot of weight in the industry. Despite some of the rough indicators we’re seeing, Jenna maintains an optimistic vision for the industry. Like me, she loves podcasts, and in her senior position is finding ways to make them sustainably and at-scale. In our conversation she explains how she’s going about that, the challenges in doing so, and what a sustainable podcast industry could look like.
