Justin from Transistor (the podcast hosting platform) is doing an AMA today!
Inspiring to watch this company grow from zero, following along behind the scenes with their "Build Your Saas" podcast:Build Your SaaSsaas.transistor.fmtwitter.com
In addition to my monthly analysis of which podcast episodes use which analytics trackers, I also secretly keep track of this per week.
Last week (starting 9/4) saw Podtrac's share jump to #1, even above Spotify!
@podtrac, any new customers/integrations that would explain this?twitter.com

Trying to figure out the color of the sides of the new deep purple iPhone 14 pro - silver? some variation to the back?
Whatever color it is, looks like it has inherited the curse of the pro phone line: destined to be covered in fingerprints 🙁🙁🙁twitter.com
So nice - can't wait to mess around with these interactions in person
otoh every iOS dev now needs one of these to test the blackpill ⚫️💸twitter.com

That's it folks, shut it all downtwitter.com
Really important point. It would be so nice to have good download/play/listen data available on the top n% of shows, we do not have this today.
Chartable has it, but only for the small slice of shows using them, and now conflicted by the Spotify acquisitiontwitter.com
So you know how people always pronounce @ApplePodcasts Connect "Apple Podcast Connect" ?
I feel like Google is not helping
Anyone know who owns the arttrk.com podcast episode analytics prefix?
I'm assuming @ART19co, but can't find any official documentation
