The Podcast Top 5
Spotify’s Audiobook Ambitions, Descript’s Major Glitch, and Rolling Stone’s First-Ever Audio Awards
16 Apr 2025
In this week’s episode of The Podcast Top 5, host Emily Soule from mowPod dives into the latest in podcast and audio news—starting with Spotify’s big bet on non-English audiobooks and what that actually means for creators. Then, we talk Descript’s transcription tool… or lack thereof (spoiler: users aren’t thrilled). And finally, Rolling Stone’s new “audio awards” are here—with familiar mic brands taking home the gold… and possibly some undisclosed affiliate links along the way. Whether you’re here for the drama, the downloads, or the dysfunction—this week has a little bit of everything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
