About this listen

 What happens when the tools we trust for clear answers start coming with ads attached? Today’s news and commentary conversation opens with growing chatter about ads potentially entering ChatGPT, then widens to a bigger pattern showing up across subscription platforms like Netflix and beyond. We unpack what these shifts could mean as ads become more common in spaces that once felt clean and uninterrupted. We share our thoughts on trust, platform control, and how easily “helpful” can start to feel sponsored. We also touch on more podcast industry headlines, platform moves, and why some changes feel familiar if you’ve been around long enough. We saved you a seat at the table. Come sit with us while we make sense of it.Episode Highlights: [03:22] Podcast data insights[04:29] Top podcasts on Spotify and Apple[06:02] Upcoming events[08:43] Business news: ads in ChatGPT[28:12] Apple Podcasts’ record-breaking year and platform innovations[29:31] Hollywood bites and the Smallville controversy[36:30] Pete Davidson’s new Netflix show[45:50] Evaluating the future of podcasting on Netflix[51:08] Upcoming podcast evaluation Links & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Empowered Podcasting Conference Course with Recordings: https://ironickmedia.com/courses/epc2025/Empowered Podcasting Conference 3: Use discount code ‘Podfest26’ to get your ticket for under $200: https://empoweredpodcasting.comApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodfest: https://podfestexpo.comPodcasters Directory: https://www.podcastersdirectory.comAds Coming to Chat GPT: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AWdasS4f4Late Bloomer Living: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAiGVgGTqt4Get to know the PMC team:https://www.podpage.com/pmc/about/Goodbye, YouTube.
