PODCAST FACTS
Did You Know?

  • In 2023, around 43 percent of people in Germany listened to podcasts. This is a reflection of the sudden increase in the popularity of podcasts in recent years. Just five years ago in 2018, around 22 percent of people stated that they listened to podcasts. (Statista)

  • Most people in Germany listen to podcasts in German, but English-language content is also picking up there given the country's rather high proficiency in English. What further attributes to podcast growth in Germany is its strong traditional radio market, much of which has been converted to podcast format. (InsiderIntelligence)

  • In December 2023, the true crime podcast 'Verbrechen' had the most downloads in Germany at 10.88 million. The news themed podcast 'Was jetzt?' (What now?) by the news paper Zeit Online had 4.76 downloads. The third most popular podcast was Baywatch Berlin with popular German TV presenter Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, Thomas Schmitt, and Jakob Lundt.

PODCAST TOOL OF THE DAY
Dall-E

Do you remember the 2008 Pixar film, Wall-E? Now fast forward thirteen years to Dall-E. This clever name is a combination of the famous artist Salvador Dali and the lovable robot from that movie, Wall-E.

Dall-E was introduced by OpenAI in January 2021 as an image generator. It's unique because it can create digital images from language descriptions using a database of text-image pairs. So, if you ask for something like "a dog with a red hat" or "a cat in a pink gown," Dall-E will generate an image based on your description instantly!

Main Features :

  • Image Generator

  • Inpainting

  • Variations
