Economical

British news organization The Economist is deepening its commitment to paid subscription content. Starting in mid-October, the outlet’s nine-show podcast portfolio will be removed from free listening, and bundled into a subscription package. This re-alignment creates a more vertical stack of subscription content that includes digital access to its printed products. Subscription details are HERE.

Marketing expert, audio evangelist, and RAIN Summit speaker E.B. Moss posts Why a Holistic Approach to Podcasting Drives Better Brand Value.
