Summary
In this special episode of Podcast Perspectives recorded live at Podcast Movement at SXSW on March 13, 2026 in Austin, TX with Audacy's Leah Reis-Dennis, Acast's Greg Glenday, and Libsyn's Brendan Monaghan. Together, we dig into how podcasters are actually making money in 2026, what AI means (and doesn’t mean) for creators, how video is changing the business, where global growth is really happening, and how consolidation and M&A are reshaping the industry from the inside. With a mix of hard numbers, candid war stories, and some friendly debate about what counts as a real podcast, this live episode offers a front‑row look at how three major platforms are thinking about the next evolution of podcasting.
