Share Wav.Plus: Your Ultimate Guide to Audio and Podcasting Jobs
While the concept of remote work has gained immense popularity and offers flexibility, it is crucial to be aware of certain realities.
In recent times, there has been an increase in job postings that claim to be remote positions but are, in fact, hybrid roles requiring a combination of remote and on-site work. This means that while the job may provide some flexibility to work remotely, there might still be a requirement to be physically present at specific locations or adhere to certain time zones.
As we continue to provide you with job opportunities in the podcasting and audio industry, we want to emphasize the importance of conducting your own due diligence before applying to any job. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, some job listings may have expired or been filled, or the company may have no intention of hiring at all. Additionally, some job listings may be designed to exploit applicants.
We also want to remind you to exercise caution with jobs that do not list a salary or pay range. It is important to know what you will be paid for your work before accepting a job offer. If a company is not transparent about compensation, it may be a red flag.
We encourage you to thoroughly research each job opportunity before submitting an application or accepting an offer. This includes researching the company, reading reviews from current and former employees, and asking questions during the interview process.

Spotify's Subscriber Growth Soars, and Testing Public Comments
Spotify's recent financial report surprised analysts with the company returning to profitability. The revenue saw an 11% increase, while operating expenses decreased by 13%. Advertising revenue, specifically from podcasts, grew by 16%, driven by an increase in sold impressions across original and licensed podcasts and the Spotify Audience Network. However, the CFO, Paul Vogel, anticipates that the podcasting sector will continue to incur losses for the company over the next 12-24 months. The total monthly active users reached 574 million, a 26% increase, with 226 million paid subscribers, marking a 16% rise. In comparison, Google announced 80 million YouTube Music and Premium subscribers last year, with YouTube Shorts reaching 2 billion monthly active users. Additionally, Spotify is testing public comments for select shows, enabling listener responses through a proprietary Q&A feature on the show's episode page. However, creators retain control over the comments' publication, editing, and removal through the Spotify for Podcasters dashboard.
