We discovered how easy it is to copy someone else's show on Spreaker; saw how few checks the company does to enable monetisation; and found that there are more than 1,700 shows duplicated on Spreaker at the moment, from publishers like PodcastOne, Vox Media, Goalhanger and SiriusXM. We have all the details in a special report.
