Rest Is Politics US to livestream election results

• Goalhanger’s The Rest Is Politics US has announced a live stream covering the Nov 4 mid-term elections. Expect it from midnight Eastern. The show also did a live show in November 2024.

• Podcast hosting company RSS.com has launched a learning center with a set of courses to cover podcasters of every stage. They’re all free, wherever you’re hosted.

• Another interesting podcast app - Static Radio (on iPhone and on Android), which gives eight radio stations made up of independent podcasts (direct from the RSS feed, of course). Everyone hears the shows together at the same time - and it has a “bulletin” to allow creators to promote their own thing. Co-founder Brendan tells us: “A show feels like it has a room full of people in it, not just you and your headphones, and you might stumble onto a show you’d never think to search for.”

• That long-running case from the National Association of the Deaf against SiriusXM for not having transcripts in the app? The two parties appear to have settled the case. Transcripts are now available in most popular podcast apps - including SiriusXM’s.

• In the UK, podcasts are now consumed by 35% of the population, according to new data from RAJAR. Adam Bowie writes that the research company are now asking if you listen to or watch podcasts: the previous figure, 26.9%, was only for listening.

• Red Seat Ventures announced an exclusive partnership with Homecoming Golf, a golf media company.
