Podcast Confession Leads To FBI Arrest

We're gearing up for Podcast Movement taking place in DC next week! And with a new logo, we've got some new swag, like tshirts, temporary tattoos, and podcasting achievement pins that everyone will want to get their hands on!

In other thrilling news, we dissect the wild tale of a podcaster nabbed by the FBI for his on-air confessions and explore Amazon Music's new AI-generated topic tags, enhancing podcast discovery. Our Snapcast experiment's six-month check-in sparks a lively debate on its success, and we address fan mail from our listeners!

Sound-off question: Share your thoughts on "Snapcasts"! Do you find them valuable, and should we keep them as-is or change the format?
