NPR president and CEO Jarl Mohn acknowledged as much in a statement Thursday, saying: “Pocket Casts is a terrific app and will be a great complement to NPR One, the NPR app and the other outstanding products in public radio’s portfolio of innovation. However, with Pocket Casts, public radio may have found some common ground - its Hulu, if you will - to distribute podcasts from a number of publishers through an already popular app. PRX, the company distributing “This American Life,” also branched out into podcast distribution with its own podcasting app called RadioPublic in 2016. NPR maintains its own NPR One app across a variety of platforms to serve up live and on-demand content, and “This American Life” has long had its own app for access to its podcasts. It’s worth noting that Pocket Casts hasn’t been the first foray of public radio producers into the world of podcasting apps. “Decisions about the fee model will be made as part of that process.” “The leadership team at Pocket Casts will assess the business and revenue model for Pocket Casts in the future, with the goal of ensuring the platform remain financially sustainable,” a spokesperson told Variety.
There is no word yet on whether Pocket Casts will keep its current premium pricing model. It is currently the #1 news app on iOS, and has been downloaded more than 500,000 times from Google’s Play Store.
Pocket Casts has been available on iOS, Android and the web as a paid app.
