  • The NAB Show, due to take place in Las Vegas NV in mid October, has been cancelled for a second year, after a number of major exhibitors pulled out. Citing the ongoing pandemic, NAB’s EVP of Events Chris Brown said: “It has become apparent in the face of these challenges that we can no longer effectively host NAB Show in person”. The exhibition was to have a podcasting section, and attracted 91,000 people in 2019.

    • A pro-AV equipment show InfoComm is still scheduled in Orlando FL for Oct 23-29; in Las Vegas, CES is still scheduled for Jan 5-8; and Radiodays Europe in Lisbon, Portugal - the most vaccinated country in the world - is between Oct 9-11.
  • First look: Nielsen has just released their Podcasting Today Report. It says that almost half of US monthly podcast listeners are “light users”, listening less than once a week: they are the segment fueling continued audience growth. It also says that comedy is the top podcast genre for almost every age group, apart from people aged 55+, who prefer news. The report is free to download.
