Jottings of note:
Podenheimer
Oppenheimer beats Barbie in podcasting — that’s the conclusion at podcast intelligence company Podchaser, which used its analytics tools to measure movie mentions across the top 5,000 English-language podcasts, plus all podcasts which mentioned either movie in their descriptions. . The test happened from July 15-22, during which the Oppenheimer film was mentioned 4,020 times vs. 3,021 references to Barbie. Chief Product Officer Dave Keine notes that Oppenheimer can penetrate more podcast categories (like history and science) than Barbie. READ
