Oprah Winfrey's The Oprah Podcast today features guests that are out of this world - or, at least, they were. After their extraordinary, history-making trip around the moon, Oprah has an in-depth conversation with the crew of Artemis II. The crew shares how they were transformed after spending more than nine days traveling farther into space than any human being has ever been. The show was acquired by Amazon's Wondery last month.
Spotify drives 1.5x more podcast consumption than YouTube, according to new data from Podstock.

The data on the UK's podcast consumers arrives a week before The Podcast Show in London: Ben Robins and Tom Webster will cover more of the data on May 20 at 10am.
