from Podcasting Morning Chat | Real Podcasters, Real Podcasting Advice · host Marc Ronick | Podcasting Strategist and Producer

YouTube creators are sounding alarms as views mysteriously plummet, with some losing up to 25% overnight. Could it be an algorithm glitch, a crackdown on AI content, or something bigger? We break down what’s happening and what it could mean for podcasters using the platform. In today’s news roundup, we also cover Spotify’s fastest-growing category, Patreon’s new design tools, Daniel J. Lewis’ PodChapters release, and fresh upgrades to Google Gemini that could reshape your podcast workflow.We also pause to honor Todd Cochrane, CEO of Blubrry and a true pioneer of podcasting, whose sudden passing leaves a lasting impact on the indie community he championed. The Empowered Podcasting community would like to express our deepest condolences.
