It is the best of times and the worst of times for podcasting. In 2023, the industry put the brakes on a period of lavish spending and nine-digit megadeals and — much as its streaming counterparts did last year — followed largesse with austerity. Facing challenges surrounding the advertising model, macroeconomic concerns and a post-pandemic slowdown, some of the biggest players, including Spotify, Vox Media and NPR, announced mass layoffs. Many others — like SiriusXM and Amazon — cut their podcast budgets significantly. And yet, unlike in other struggling segments of the entertainment business, audiences are continuing to grow with no ceiling in sight. According to an analysis by Edison Research, “Podcasting is ‘back,’ reaching the highest numbers ever,...

It would be reductive to say podcasts are having a moment right now. The industry, which is expected to generate 4 billion in revenue by 2024, can trace its roots back to the days of radio, when creators were making podcasts long before Ben Hammersley coined the name. But the format’s impact and moneymaking potential have arguably never been higher, as evidenced by the entry of new megawatt voices like Meghan Markle, whose Archetypes dominated the charts shortly after launch. For this year’s inaugural Podcast Power Players list, THR examined the medium’s current landscape, taking reach and influence into account to determine the leading dealmakers and front-facing creatives pushing the industry forward. — J.

As Ray Donovan, Liev Schreiber is one of premium cable’s best-known fixers — but is he funny?
If you tuned out of this weekend’s Saturday Night Live following a nervous Schreiber’s awkward opening monologue, you missed what was easily the strongest episode of the still-young season. During an off night, the fact that Schreiber felt out of his element would have been a detriment to the proceedings, but this week it worked in the show’s favor, bringing a very particular energy to a series of increasingly weird skits. And while neither is highlighted below, both the cold...

We’re pretty sure Tonya Harding is a fan of President Donald Trump — a fan who wasn’t able to vote for him in the 2016 presidential election because she’s a felon. Harding shared her political preferences during her interview with journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner on Wednesday’s episode of the New York Times “The Daily” podcast. Harding said she “chooses not to vote.” However, Akner noted while talking to host Michael Barbaro that Harding cannot participate in elections, because she’s a felon, but that she is a conservative who “would’ve voted for Trump.” “We need a change,” Harding said.

On the Thursday night edition of the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert took the New York Times to task for their front page article in the Home and Garden section, “The Candidate Next Door,” where reporter Michael Barbaro interviewed several of Romney’s neighbors. "It's not news, no. What's news is what the Times thinks is news, quote 'a young man in town recalled that Mr. Romney confronted him as he smoked marijuana and drank on the beach last summer demanding that he stop.' They're trying to make Mitt Romney seem like officer buzzkill!" Colbert observed.

With lawsuits pending, Trump's business empire could not withstand the close scrutiny of a presidential campaign, and even his kids might have been muddied. Wayne Barrett, who first exposed Trump's ties to organized crime in his 1992 book, looked into the Donald's most recent business dealings and discovered:
• One associate who was an "unindicted co-conspirator" in a massive 2000 stock swindle-and escaped prison only by helping to convict 19 others, including six members of New York crime families • Two associates who served prison time on cocaine charges • Another partner prosecuted for trafficking underage girls after a dramatic helicopter raid on a yacht off the Turkish coast • A pending lawsuit against Trump Soho that alleges daughter Ivanka, among others, made fraudulent misrepresentations

Photo courtesy of Patrick McMullan.com.The front page of today’s New York Times contains an exceptionally damaging exposé concerning self-described billionaire Donald Trump. The Times’s Michael Barbaro, the ace political reporter who last caught up with the hubristic heir in his Vegas hotel suite as his plane happened to be “hovering” outside the window, chronicles Trump’s most toxic licensing agreements. Trump “has entered into arrangements that home buyers describe as deliberately deceptive — designed, they said, to exploit the very thing that drew them to his buildings: their faith in him,” according to The Times.

Look outside! That white powder is the residue of effective civil services! Right now, your city, municipal, or state government is working hard to ensure that the second coming of Snowpocalypse (Snowpocalypse 2: Really Not That Bad) is not as debilitating as the first. Boston has declared a state of “snow emergency,” while New York has proclaimed a “weather emergency”—the former, according to The Daily Beast, is “a category that includes severe parking restrictions, closes schools, and discourages all non-essential driving on city streets.” New York major Michael Bloomberg will doubtlessly remain on the mainland, as only yesterday, The New York Times’s Michael Barbaro revealed that the billionaire politico spent the early hours of the first Snowpocalypse at his home in Barbados. “We recognize that we did not do the job that New Yorkers rightly expect of us in the last storm,” Bloomberg said yesterday at a press conference.
