Below, in our Tips and Tricks section, read how The Piketon Massacre was made

Spotify has acquired Sonantic, a “a dynamic AI voice platform that creates compelling, nuanced, and stunningly realistic voices from text” (hear a clip in our podcast today). No terms were given.
Media and entertainment group Global has made a strategic investment in audio ad company Odeeo, which puts audio ads in mobile games. Global’s DAX will become exclusive sales partner in the UK and US. Global also owns podcast hosting company Captivate, as well as a significant radio and outdoor business in the UK.
Acast has announced a “virtual audio pride parade” to celebrate LGBTQIA+ events over the next three months, according to an email from the company. Acast has also announced a partnership with Spring (formerly Teespring) to allow podcasters to create their own merch.

Acast has been misleadingly claiming that one of its companies has Public Benefit Corporation status: that means legally-defined goals for positive impact on society, workers, the community and the environment. The website for RadioPublic, a company Acast bought in February 2021, includes a seal claiming it’s a “public benefit corporation”, while its privacy policy starts with a similar claim. Yet, RadioPublic PBC ceased to exist on Dec 31 2021 when its registration was revoked after failing to file; and RadioPublic’s new owner, Acast, has no such legal status. Acast used the RadioPublic user database in February this year to send unsolicited commercial emails.
- We’ve been asking Acast for a statement on this since March 17. On notifying the company that we were publishing this story today anyway, the company emailed us that the website will be, coincidentally, amended later this morning, US time.
The RØDECaster Pro II will be launched in the next 24 hours. Unsually, units already shipped have been disabled until launch, which is 10am Sydney time tomorrow; or 7pm New York time tonight.
