This is your marketing news for the week of March 31, 2026. This week we have three stories for you.

All three marketing news stories happened in the last seven days. And all three involve a platform you depend on to distribute your content.

Google. Instagram and Apple Podcasts.

We'll start with a Google update that just a few days ago and if you’re generating AI content you better check this out because it could kill your site traffic. 

Then we'll talk about what Meta confirmed Monday that tells you where Instagram is headed. 

And we close with Apple, which just opened a distribution channel that didn't exist a week ago.
