In this episode of Into the Podverse, host Tony Doe explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, copyright, and podcast measurement standards. We begin with a deep dive into the Suno AI data breach, which reportedly revealed plans to download 1 million hours of podcasts via Podcast Index for AI training. We discuss the urgent questions this raises for creators regarding transparency, licensing, and the security of RSS feeds.

Next, we celebrate the career of Jollz, co-founder of the hit Nigerian podcast "I Said What I Said," following her inclusion in the Ynaija masterlist. Discover how she transitioned from podcasting to screenwriting and community building, proving that the microphone is just the beginning of building valuable intellectual property.
