Unpacking Amaeya Media’s State of the Industry Report, and the #podcast industry’s movements standardisation including The Podcast Index, and some thoughts on monetisation, on Communicate Middle East.

Thanks Arjun and the CommunicateME team for the chat!

I spoke to Zaira Lakhpatwala about our State of Industry 2020 report for #podcasts, and some thoughts on the brand opportunity in the medium, on Arab News.

Thanks to Zaira and the ArabNews team for the chat!

Today, we released Amaeya Media’s second annual State of the Industry Report, covering all things #podcasting in 2020.

A big thanks to everyone who took the survey, Pooja Sagar for rallying us, and to Stefano Fallaha & James Cridland for sharing their insights on our industry.

🎙️ Excited to unveil What I Did Next, a new #podcast about life’s pivot points and adapting to the forks in the road, and how our guests did it their way.

The show is produced for A&T Media, a new startup based out of Egypt and hosted by Malak Fouad.

Thought The Podcast Index’s Adam Curry & Dave Jones' chat on the de-platforming saga was both insightful & important. Helped extend a lot of thoughts/questions I’ve been having on the implications to us as consumers & creators, and extends to centralization & ownership of our data.

Hey everyone, we’re running our 2020 #podcast listener survey at the moment and could use your help. A few minutes of your time goes a long way in helping understand preferences, dislikes and how things may have changed last year. Oh, and it’s okay if you don’t listen to podcasts, there are a couple of questions for you too :)

We really appreciate your help: https://forms.gle/BadHRF2TbFY5psac7

Thanks Campaign Middle East for the chance to air a few thoughts about #podcasts, some news that made headlines this year and how brands can approach the medium.

Today, we announced our fall slate with new shows—that’s 14 shows in total being produced by a single podcast network in the UAE. With a journey that began in 2017 as a thought about what I’d like to do in this untapped space, AMAEYA Media blossomed into a platform that has spurred some of the most inspiring & powerful conversations among change-makers of our region at large. There are numerous people to thank today, especially those that jumped on the train because they ‘got it’ & believed in what I could deliver—and all of you.

Today marks a showcase of a couple years of hard work by a lot of people, and there’s more to come! Our strength lies in all those wonderful stories and histories we’ve uncovered through the years.

I hope you’ll join us for what’s coming next as well!
