Leveling The Playing Field: Congress Just Passed A Sweeping Antitrust Bill To Break Up America’s Biggest Podcast Networks

Whoa. This is huge.

With all the money in politics, it’s easy to be cynical about what happens inside the halls of Congress, but this morning, the House of Representatives actually stuck up for the little guy with an incredible new piece of legislation. After a long floor fight, the House narrowly passed a landmark antitrust bill designed to break up America’s biggest podcast networks and to limit the power of the “growing podcast oligopoly” in the United States.

Finally, government working the way it’s supposed to!

The bill, officially titled The Preserving Fairness And Opportunity In Podcasting Act Of 2016, but more commonly known as the Podbust Bill, places strict regulations on any podcast network that hosts over 20 properties. House minority leader and bill co-sponsor Nancy Pelosi (D-MD) addressed the media shortly after votes were tallied.
