Podtrac has reported the leading 20 publishers it monitors experienced an average decline of nine percent in their unique audience on a month-to-month basis last month.
According to a spokesperson from iHeartPodcasts, the network's international audience witnessed a remarkable 42% growth from 2021 to 2022.
"Wondery cited a "morals clause" in the termination notice sent to Lee."
Other top-ranked publishers included Wondery, NPR, The New York Times, and NBC News.
The U.S. already ranks as the third-largest market for BBC News, behind India.
"The podcast market reflects the shared passions of creators and audiences alike.”
