Joe Rogan Gets New Spotify Deal Worth Up To $250 Million: Spotify has reached a new deal with star podcaster Joe Rogan that will allow his hit show to be distributed broadly. From a report: Rogan's fresh deal, estimated to be worth as much as $250 million over its multiyear term, involves an upfront minimum guarantee, plus a revenue sharing agreement based on ad sales. Under the new licensing agreement, Spotify will sell ads for and distribute "The Joe Rogan Experience" across several podcast platforms, including in a video format on YouTube, the company said Friday. Under his previous deal, the show was exclusive to Spotify. The new deal is emblematic of shifting economics in podcasting, which has matured in both audience reach and advertising spending since Rogan's last deal. Spotify is working to revise the terms of its deals with top talent so that shows are distributed on several platforms to maximize their audience and ad sales, rather than requiring exclusivity.

More Smart This week, SiriusXM signed a $100 million+ deal for the hottest pod on the planet, Smartless. https://lnkd.in/eCZiUuPm The deal gives Sirius exclusive rights to the pod, including all distribution and advertising, plus an overall deal with Smartless Media, the ingeniously named production company of the show. Before you say, as CNN did, that “$100 million is a staggering amount for a podcast,” remember that Smartless just ended a deal for $80M with Amazon AND that Sirius is the same company who did a similar deal with Howard Stern that launched them with remarkable success (on both sides). This is not just a podcast deal. This is a talent lock up. A big investment in their digital advertising network. And rebrand as they aim to get a new generation of listeners and subscribers. It’s no coincidence this announcement came just weeks after their major app redesign and just days before their relatively good 4Q earnings. And before you say, “well how can Sirius possibly compete with Spotify in audio?” It’s important to note that SiriusXM also announced earnings this week. “For the year, the company reported profit of $1.26 billion, or 32 cents per share. Revenue was reported as $8.95 billion.” https://lnkd.in/evBPgdac Spotify don’t report earnings until next Tuesday. My guesstimate is that Team Ek lost $400-600 million in 2023. Sirius traditionally generates profits. Spotify traditionally does not. We’ll see what they say next week. That’s just a little of the context for the audio section of this #earningsseason. On President’s Day, I’ll go through ALL the earnings for all of Big Media - online, free, and live. To tune in, register here: https://lnkd.in/eqDdgYrE

Did you know that the Cloud contains over 40 zettabytes of data? And it’s estimated that by 2025 it’ll reach 100 zettabytes? A zettabyte is read as the 2 to the 70th power bytes, or a thousand exabytes, a billion terabytes or a trillion gigabytes. For comparison, one zettabyte is as much information as there are grains of sand on all of the world's beaches. It’s also 250 million DVDs, 500 million eBooks, or streaming music continuously for over 200 million years. What's a real-world analogy that helps you wrap your mind around the immense size of a zettabyte? Share your creative comparisons in the comments below! #DataCapacity #FileStorage #TechTrivia
