  + stars: | 2023-12-05 | by ( Jyoti Mann | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Spotify is cutting two big podcasts, "Heavyweight" and "Stolen," Bloomberg reported. The podcasts in question, "Heavyweight" and "Stolen," will be canceled after completing their current seasons, the report said. Given the cancellations, the streaming giant's viral Spotify Wrapped campaign might soon be overshadowed by a new mantra: "Spotify Scrapped." "Heavyweight" was listed as one of The New York Times' top podcasts of the year and "Stolen" won a Pulitzer Prize and Peabody Award. The news of the podcasts' axing comes as Spotify made its third round of layoffs this year.

☆ Spotify to Lay Off 200 Employees in Podcast Strategy Shift
  + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Amanda Holpuch | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Spotify, the audio streaming platform, said on Monday that it planned to lay off about 200 people, including workers at the popular podcast studios Gimlet Media and Parcast. The 2 percent cut to the company’s work force is part of a “strategic realignment” of the podcast division, Sahar Elhabashi, the head of podcasts at Spotify, said in a memo to Spotify employees on Monday. Since early 2019, the number of podcast shows on Spotify has grown to more than five million from about 200,000, Ms. Elhabashi said in a revised version of the memo that Spotify posted on its website. That period was a boom era for the podcasting industry, with media companies making large investments to expand their offerings. This flurry of spending has cooled in the last year, with companies cutting podcast jobs and curbing budgets.
