Metrics, Measurement and Money - for indie podcasters and not-for-profits

Send James and Sam a message or voicemail Losh Moodaley's article: https://podnews.net/article/beyond-the-cpm-podcast-advertising  We test whether a 30-second threshold actually changes podcast stats, then pull apart why the definition of a “play” gets slippery once streaming, caching, and platform politics enter the mix. We also challenge the idea that better measurement automatically leads to better creator income, with practical advice for independents and nonprofits trying to build trust, outcomes, and sustainable revenue.  • 30-second plays vs 60-second downloads and what hosting data shows  • Why simplifying measurement helps but does not equal engagement  • AMP definition changes, missing technical detail, and platform participation questions  • The caching problem with HLS video and why server logs can mislead  • Losh Moodley’s roadmap beyond CPMs: audience economy, exclusivity, outcome-based selling, trust over attention  • Spam podcasts selling drugs and why link tracking matters  • AI-generated podcast flooding, disclosure ethics, and search discoverability  • VoxTopica on mission-driven podcasting, nonprofit success metrics, and when subscriptions can work  • Listener trends, weekly listening hours, and why listen time is becoming the headline number  Support the show Connect With Us:  Email: weekly@podnews.net Fediverse: @james@bne.social and @samsethi@podcastindex.social Support us: www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support Get Podnews: podnews.net
