RD27: Infinite Dial 2017, an audio graphic novel as a podcast and more trouble at Soundcloud

The Richard Dally Podcast

Welcome to episode 27 of the Richard Dally podcast where I bring you a UK perspective on the latest news and developments from the world of podcasting and Internet Radio

In the show this week I discuss the 2017 Infinite Dial Report from Edison Research and Triton Digital, some controversy over the Missing Richard Simmons podcast, a new podcast about the movie Psycho from Mark Ramsey and the views of a listener to the typical format of commercial radio.
