According to a laid-off employee, CNN is reducing its podcast team as it refocuses its audio business. Alexander McCall, a product manager at CNN Audio, tweeted yesterday that he and other podcasting employees had been fired off and that CNN would create fewer series next year. “I’m joining the ‘My employer invested extensively in podcasting, then learned it’s costly, and then decided they didn’t want to pay for it anymore.’ cohort,” he said.
