<li><a href="https://podnews.net/press-release/cbc-slate-spring-summer-2026">CBC has released its spring/summer 2026 podcast slate.</a> New podcasts include a comedy podcast hosted by musician Donovan Woods and Tom Power of CBC’s Q - and a new investigative series into an AI tool that claims it's solving crimes.</li>
<li>On our story yesterday of the <a href="https://podnews.net/update/cloning-podcasts">cloned podcasts</a>: podcast lawyer <a href="https://www.lindsaybowen.law/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=podnews.net%3A2026-04-14">Lindsay Bowen</a> tells us that he believes some of the original podcast owners could have a case for copyright infringement, and either trademark infringement or a violation of the Lanham Act's prohibition against passing off. But he also warns podcast hosting companies and podcast directories need to get their house in order too: "Every hosting platform —or anyone who hosts user uploaded material available in the United States — must have a DMCA designated agent listed in the <a href="https://dmca.copyright.gov/dmca/search.html?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=podnews.net%3A2026-04-14">directory of the US Copyright Office</a>. Otherwise, they can’t claim protection of the DMCA’s “Safe Harbor,” and could be liable for a contributory infringement lawsuit against them."</li>
<li>We're sure that Dr Nathan Pali's <a href="https://podnews.net/uploads/nathan-pali-passing-off.webp">thinly disguised versions of The Rest Is History</a> are totally above board? At least it's not AI-generated: when we listened to one of the podcasts, we noticed this history podcaster was <a href="https://podnews.net/uploads/Carthaginian.mp3">incapable of pronouncing the word Carthaginian</a>. Or of editing. </li>
