Podcast measurement company Podtrac has recorded mostly negative week-over-week download and unique audience growth since social distancing measures began. The declines were most severe in mid-March when major cities began shelter-in-place requirements and nonessential American workers began working from home. As of the week of April 27, however, weekly download and audience growth are slowly ticking back up.

But it is not all bad news: Podtrac found that for the shows it measures, year-to-date growth overall is still positive with major download growth in categories like news, comedy and business.

Podcasts exploded in 2020. People created nearly 900,000 new podcasts last year, according to Chartable, and hungry listeners couldn't get enough. Listenership in the U.S. grew 90%, and it grew even faster in other countries tracked by the podcast measurement company.

One thing that stood out in Chartables data is how dominant Spotify has become, thanks to its strategic podcasting acquisitions. And despite the ongoing consolidation in the industry, it may have built an insurmountable lead in most areas of podcasting from the creative, advertising, and listening sides of the equation.

January 6, 2006 – A new credit card scam has appeared in New York and appears to be moving west. Victims of the scam receive a call that they think is from their credit card company. Unfortunately, a lot of people are falling for this new telephone pitch, and having their credit ruined in the process.

January 11, 2006 – If you are missing an old tax refund and wondering when it will show up, the answer may be “never”. That is because the IRS now uses software to identify possible cases of “refund fraud”. Unfortunately, the software appears to be error prone and tax payers are getting caught in the middle.

We can't thank you enough for the amazing week we've had. The Jungle Dome looked great on the website, but it is only when you arrive that you realize what a special place it is. It's rare to find a place in such a beautiful setting with so many places to see and activities to do in such a close distance.

We enjoyed every second; from the horseback ride through the jungle, boat ride down the river, the Black Hole Drop, cave tubing, etc. Also, we are so glad that we spotted a comment in the comment book about David's night time jungle walk- it was brilliant. The overnight stay in the cave was loads of fun too.

Most of all, thank you to Andy, Simone, David, Mynor & the rest of the staff here for making us feel so welcome, comfortable & part of the Jungle Dome family during our stay. Every aspect was amazing and - like I said at the start- we can't thank you enough. You have a special place & we will spread the word in England for you.

 It is sad to leave, but nice to go knowing that we have made so many new friends!

Thanks again, Lee & Natalie, UK


May 21, 2012 Dear Jungle Dome,

Wow! What an amazing week! Jungle Dome far exceeded all of our expectations and the bar high for the rest of our trip. The staff here are amazing and truly made the experience for us. It felt like we were among friends, not resort staff, all week.

The food was incredible, the lodge is beautiful, and the experiences in the jungle were life changing and unforgettable! We will definitely be recommending this place with raving reviews to our friends and family, and hope to make it back here in the future!

There are various ways to say you’ve arrived in life, and the Maybach badge is one way of doing it in style. When it was put onto the GLS, though, not only was it a power statement, it added a cool quotient, too. It doesn’t just say you’ve arrived; it shouts it. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift design

The 2024 version continues the pimped-out look with loads of bling all over, but with more Maybach logos and badges all over the car. We counted 61, with surely a few more tucked away where we did not notice. So, if you’re looking for understated, maybe look elsewhere. The pomp and attitude extend to the now-famous Free Drive Mode (or Bounce Mode, as it’s lovingly called on Instagram), which is meant to bounce the SUV on its air springs to unstick you from soft sand, but in reality, it syncs up nicely with your favourite rap song.

It’s easy to get carried away talking about this car’s many fun elements, but let’s get to the changes for the 2024 version. The flashy chrome grille that stares at you like a flashing grin has been tweaked slightly with thicker outlines. The bumper is redone, and where the air intakes were, you get a multitude of logos made of plastic, which seem amiss and don’t look Maybach-level. 

While it comes in five regular colours, if you want to stand out from the crowd, you can get dual-tone paint options and even up the wheels from 22 to 23 inches. In fact, since this is a CBU import, you can pretty much have it tailor-made. At the rear is a new tail-lamp signature, and the Maybach chrome tailpipe surrounds are back. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift interior and features

Inside, there aren’t many changes, but here, too, there’s plenty of customisation potential. The open-pore wood in this car looks lavish, coupled with the Nappa leather with contrast double stitch. The steering wheel is new, the MBUX software is now the latest version and gets a fingerprint sensor, and the new graphics are crisp and clean. The graphics quality can be truly experienced when you pull up the Energiser Package menu, which combines sounds, visuals, ambient light and massages to transport you to your happy place, be that a forest, a club, or, in our case, some summer rain on a sweltering day like the one when we tested the GLS.

The Maybach GLS now also gets Level 2 ADAS, and the features list remains extensive, with 11.6-inch rear screens, a 590W Burmester sound system, and heating, ventilation and massage functions for all four seats. There’s a tablet controller for rear passengers, blinds and wireless charging. Though there are a lot of options, Mercedes has kept the standard specification for India high.

One option you simply must tick is the First Class rear seating package with the fixed central console, 43.5 degrees of recline, and leg rests. You can then opt for a refrigerator, but be warned that it eats up a lot of boot space, and honestly, it might be easier just to put a cooler in the boot. 

Climbing into the Maybach GLS is a haul up as the SUV rides quite high, but like before, there’s a cool retractable side step that folds out as you open the door, like a valet preparing your entry. Once in the rear seats, you’re transported into a world of first-class travel. Reclined, with my legs up, all cool and comfy, the Mumbai traffic seemed to be far away as I was ferried along serenely in the well-insulated cabin. 

A lot of tech has gone into ensuring passengers feel that level of luxury, not only in the silence of the cabin but also in the ride. In Maybach mode, the responses are softened: suspension, acceleration and gear changes. In fact, it’s so smooth that cutting through a construction zone makes me wonder whether the work has been completed. It’s thanks to the optional e-Active Body Control that reads the road ahead and pre-adjusts the suspension, so you feel like you’re floating. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift performance

But a petrolhead like me couldn’t stay pinned to a rear seat for long, and I switched over to the driver’s seat. First up, I toggled the drive mode to Sport, and as I accelerated away, I was amazed by how smoothly and quickly this 2.8-tonne luxury liner gained momentum. The 4.0-litre V8 was smooth and strong, delivering power from the get-go. The 9-speed auto shifted smoothly and seamlessly, keeping up the reputation of refined luxury. However, when you plunge your foot to the floor, it takes a breath before dropping down the gears. You can circumvent that pause with the paddles if you’re in a spirited mood. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift ride and handling

New tail-lamp pattern for 2024, but bling remains the name of the game.

The steering is light, letting you tuck into traffic gaps with ease you can’t imagine, and while it’s not quick, it does give you enough feedback around corners, too. There’s some roll around corners, but e-Active Body Control comes to the rescue again. Its Curve Mode will lean the car into corners to counter the roll, much like a bike. But the Maybach GLS is most comfortable cruising silently on a highway, ferrying its passengers on a cloud of comfort. It also has off-road modes and assistance, but I doubt owners in India will venture anywhere off the road in this car.

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift price and verdict

The new Maybach GLS 600 starts at Rs 3.35 crore, Rs 39 lakh higher than before. While the basic specification is good, you can spend as much as Rs 1.5 crore more on options, only some of which are fitted to this car. It gives you loads of attitude, a cool quotient, ultimate comfort, and luxury. And, oh yeah, it can dance, too.

Branding is important, and this is something we’ve already seen with digital assistants like Siri. Moving into the artificial intelligence era, companies have been falling over themselves to get their own stamp on their version of AI. Apple has opted for the reasonably predictable “Apple Intelligence”, while Microsoft’s approach has been a little more haphazard. But now there are clues that suggest the company has finally come to understand the importance of giving people an overarching term to cover all of its AI-related offerings.

A couple of weeks ago, Google announced the new features for travel search ads through integration with travel feeds. These may now be out in the wild, as we are seeing pricing and other rich markup showing up for hotel ads in Google Search.

Lluc B. Penycate posted some examples and screenshots on X of these out in the wild. He wrote, "I think we are seeing the new Google Hotel Ads format announced last week(s) which integrates rooms, prices and availability."

Here are those screenshots:

Google wrote a couple of weeks ago, "all hotel advertisers can now showcase feed data, such as hotels, prices, dates, ratings and images, in this ad format" and then shared some mock examples of those ads. But these look like them in real life.

This EMF Radiation Blocking Hoodie from Bon Charge looks like it’s just the ticket for these warm winter nights. And when we say warm, you know we’re not just referring to the temperature, right? According to some very sensible people, over exposure to high levels of electromagnetic radiation can be a very not good thing. Now before we all head off and find a deep bunker somewhere, it’s not just the levels, but also the type of radiation that matters....
