• The winners of the ARKAST Podcast Awards were announced at the second annual event in Little Rock AK, USA. Tiger Talk won the Kids and Family, Young Pod and Rising Star categories.
• Last week, Riverside launched podcast hosting as a free service for its customers. This week, Patreon launches RSS-based podcast hosting for its users. You can “insert previews of your paid episodes in your public RSS feed to help more listeners discover and upgrade to your paid membership”. The announcement - podcast hosting is item #5 - suggests it won’t work with podcasts that use dynamic ads (we’d think that’s referring to the import tool).
  • Here’s a sample feed. It declares the Podcast namespace, but doesn’t, yet, support any Podcasting 2.0 features. The company is using Cloudflare as its CDN.
• The biggest “history” podcasts - literally, the ones with history in their title - were unveiled by Edison Podcast Metrics. #3 is Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History; and the Goalhanger show The Rest is History at #2. The #1 show is from Audioboom.
