   Apple Monetizes Video Podcasts | Activision Takes Halo | Foam Talk: Dremel

   🚀 MERCURY EDITION // 09.25.2026 🚀 Mercury is brought to you by Age of Radio, your home for podcasting and pop culture news 🎙️🎮 Check out all Age of Radio shows at ageofradio.com And by Merlin — The Smartest Way to Track Your Crypto Get 30 Days Free at merlincrypto.com 🎧 Hosted by Jeremy Quintanilla (@ageofjeremy) & Tray Cook (@creatortray) (Sometimes stopping in @joeygalvez1984 @thejinxcosplay @fouledmouthheathen 👀) THIS WEEK'S DROP Apple just opened a second video money door. Six months after rolling out HLS video, Apple is bringing video to Apple Podcasts Subscriptions — exclusive episodes, ad-free versions, early access, and bonus content behind a paywall in 170+ countries. Premium audio and video from one offering, no separate workflows. We break down what it actually means for independent creators. Xbox cuts 268 more, and Activision takes Halo. Another 268 roles gone across first-party studios and central functions, with Xbox saying it's only "roughly three-quarters" through the restructuring. The next Halo title moves to a new team inside Activision — meaning the makers of Call of Duty now run Halo too. Playground and Turn 10 merge, Bethesda absorbs Obsidian, and Ninja Theory faces proposed closure. 🔥 FOAM TALK: Everything you wanted to know about the Dremel. Bits, speeds, beveling, sanding, and the mistakes that eat your foam. The tool questions you've been asking, answered on air. And much more podcasting, technology, creator economy, and pop culture news! ⚡ AGE OF RADIO IS POWERING UP UWU CON! 📅 October 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 2026 Three days celebrating anime, gaming, cosplay, creators, and the community that brings it all together.
