“For those of you outside the United States, rest assured that we plan to bring podcasts in YouTube Music to other regions in the future!”

We’ll also offer you the option to directly upload your audio podcasts via RSS feeds to both YouTube & YouTube Music down the line.

  • Pocket Casts have clarified the pricing changes for the podcast app. The price-hike is for new subscribers only.

  • Oxford Road’s Dan Granger considers programmatic advertising on podcasts is a “shortsighted compromise”. Speaking to the Podcast Business Journal this week, he describes it as a way to “get away from even associating hosts with the advertising”. You can read his thoughts in the latest Podcast Business Journal newsletter.

  • Hosting: Libsyn won a Stevie Award for product innovationBuzzsprout has added unlimited team members to its podcast hosting service.

  • Rogan and renewals and corrections: Our correction yesterday hopefully had the context to make it clear that Spotify pointed out that Joe Rogan’s podcast is not up for renewal this year. They wouldn’t tell us when it is up for renewal: it might have been renewed already, or it could be up for renewal next year. Sorry for our loose writing yesterday, which we’ve corrected on the web version. Trust us, if we discovered that Rogan’s show wasn’t being renewed, it wouldn’t have been buried in a one-line correction in the middle of a newsletter.
