<li><a href="https://podnews.net/press-release/red-seat-ventures-supercast">Red Seat Ventures, part of FOX's Tubi group, has acquired premium subscription tool Supercast.</a> Terms weren't given. Supercast’s top 10 podcasters gross more than $26 million per year in subscription revenue, the press release notes; paid subscriptions are a fast-growing part of the podcast ecosystem. Acast partnered with Supercast last <a href="https://podnews.net/press-release/acast-supercast">April</a>; Supercast is also used <a href="https://podnews.net/press-release/huberman-supercast">by Huberman Lab</a> and This American Life.</li>
<li>First look: <a href="https://podnews.net/press-release/ambie-awards-host-vanguard-judges">The Ambies award ceremony this year will be hosted by Wyatt Cenac</a>, it's just been announced. The Emmy and WGA award-winning comedian, writer, and producer will be joined by Donwill, who will serve as the evening’s official house DJ.
<ul>

The company claims the success is due to their popular Wrapped campaign - and shared than 300mn users accessed it (which also means 400mn didn't). By this morning, shares were up nearly +15% (but still almost a third lower than a year ago).
<ul>
<li>In terms of podcasting, the <a href="https://s29.q4cdn.com/175625835/files/doc_financials/2025/q4/Q4-25-Earnings-Call-Prepared-Remarks.pdf?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=podnews.net%3A2026-02-11">prepared remarks</a> tell us that there are 530,000 video podcast shows now on Spotify (and 7mn podcasts). "Video podcast consumption has increased by more than +90%" since Jan 2025; though without absolute numbers, this isn't too helpful. Podcasting wasn't mentioned other than in respect to video podcasts.</li>
<li>Ad sales over all of Spotify dropped in 2025 by a total of $21.5mn (-1%); but podcast ad sales dropped in the year by almost $99mn ("due to optimization of podcast inventory"). However, the costs to Spotify of making podcasts also decreased in 2025, helping ad-supported gross margin improve.</li>
<li>In 2023, Spotify had 9,123 employees. By the end of 2025, there were -20% fewer, at 7,287. </li>
