‘Callous and punitive’: Rosie Waterland launches own podcast network after battle with SCA
Award-winning podcaster Rosie Waterland has launched her own podcast network and will re-record old episodes after an ongoing dispute with SCA’s Listnr was finally resolved.
In various statements, Waterland has labelled the actions of Listnr “pointlessly callous and punitive”, and called on her listeners to use her network’s launch as an opportunity to “prove to the men in suits who co-opt the work of artists and creators that we can be bigger, and better, without them”.
Waterland had two podcasts with Listnr, Just The Gist and Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie. When the deal with Listnr was dissolved, Waterland was unaware that she didn’t own the master recordings, or that she’d be unable to use the successful podcasts’ feeds.
