Why it matters
An Audible 2-for-1 sale on a wishlisted title, a show moving behind a paywall before a subscription, or a live tour on-sale before it sells out each returns the fee.
Who it is for
- The 135 million Americans who listen to podcasts monthly and the 50 million who listen to audiobooks.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Tuesday 13:00 UTC. Major podcasts announce new seasons on Tuesdays, audiobooks release on publisher Tuesdays, and platform exclusives and price changes land at quarter starts
How to operate it
Nobody runs Podcast & Audiobook Release Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.
Connect the assistant you already use
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Podcast & Audiobook Release WatchTrack podcasts and audiobooks for US listeners. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days and the coming 14 days: new season, limited series and major guest announcements from top-100 podcasts and major networks with premiere dates; audiobook releases of anticipated titles with narrators and platforms; podcast exclusive, windowing and free-to-paid changes at Spotify, Audible, Apple, Amazon Music, SiriusXM and Wondery; subscription price, plan and credit changes at Audible, Spotify, Apple, Libro.fm and Everand; Audible and Libro.fm sales with dates; live podcast tour and show ticket on-sales; library audiobook availability and license changes on Libby and Hoopla; and show cancellations and host departures. Prefer network, platform, publisher and ticketing sources; ignore aggregator listicles. Put the show or title first in the title. Use high severity for a paywall move on a top-50 show, a price change, or a tour on-sale expected to sell out. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the date, where to listen or buy, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
