Good good. Dodgy scammers out there trying to 'sell' my @matt handle. It's not for sale. They're scammers.
Amazing piece of social media
Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.
Just looking at Audioboom and Acast's half yearly reports (you need something to do of a lunchtime). I was interested to see what their average RPMs were - ie how much money do they generate for 1,000 'listens'. For Acast it's £41 and for Audioboom, pretty similar, at £44.
Congratulations to the @funkids team who've got two @britpodawards nominations. One for the Fun Kids Science Weekly in the Education category and the other for Best Network or Publisher. Well done to the @funkids and @Createsoho teams!
A really fun launch from the @funkids team. Listen on the radio, as an audio podcast or a video show.

Lovely to be quoted alongside @scottygb in this video podcast piece by @j_a_warrington in The Telegraph. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…

Some questions to ask when thinking video...
Uploading full video of your podcast to Spotify can be great for your fans, but how does it affect the money you make? podcastdiscovery.com/2025/07/21/sho…
Lovely to welcome @clivedickens to the sofa!

A great project! Morrisons working with us at @funkids! campaignlive.co.uk/article/morris…
Always love when the annual content budgets for the BBC networks are published: R1 £41m, 1X £9m, R2 £49m, R3 £37m, R4 £84m, 4X £4m, 5L £57m, 5LSX £6m, 6M £13m and AN £7m (and that's before transmission, marketing etc is added on). I continue to be professionally jealous.
Getting them hooked on shout outs early!
William listens to the podcast “Fun Science Weekly” & submitted a question. This evening when listening to this week’s episode his question was answered at 9mins 28! So proud and love how excited he gets at each episode podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/fun… @funkids @itsdansimpson
Fun to do a quick @skynews hit this morning with @MattBarbet on the raft of BBC investigation reports!

So pleased that @funkids is a must-stop for most kids authors - and a lot of that is down to @BexLindsay!
Halfway through the year and I’ve already interviewed 52 authors about their books for @funkids and our Book Worms podcast! And honestly? I know I haven’t even scratched the surface of the incredible #kidslit out there at the moment..! The reading continues apace!
Using @SendGridSupport's a bizarre experience. The team are good people but they clearly lack the tools from @twilio and @spdholakia to be able to answer q's. They've no way to log into your account to see issues so you're stuck playing 20 q's and sharing screenshots. Madness!
Great to have Tim from Unmade/@Mumbrellanews over from Australia and on the show this week.
