Podnews, a news site specializing in podcasting, announced on March 30, 2022 that it has obtained YouTube-created material for podcast publishers.

This 84-page presentation material contains three slides labeled 'Future Prospects,' which appear to be a mockup of the podcast-providing page ' youtube.com/podcasts .' In addition to posting images, it is noted that the ability to directly capture RSS feeds is being considered. At the time of article creation, nothing is displayed even if you access 'youtube.com/podcasts'.



In addition, YouTube's new potcast service will serve audio ads.



Like creators who upload videos to YouTube, creators who podcast on YouTube are expected to be provided with an analytics feature tentatively called a 'new indicator.' YouTube lists three partner companies, Podtrac, Chartable, and Nielsen, all of which have strengths in data analysis related to podcast distribution.



Before this coverage by Podnews, we know that YouTube has focused on the podcast market. In October 2021, it was reported that YouTube was looking for people to manage 'millions of existing podcasts on the site.' Also, in early March 2022, YouTube reportedly asked popular podcast distributors to pay up to $ 300,000 to create an audio version of a popular show.

Podnews contacted YouTube and asked for comments, but it seems that no response was obtained at the time of writing the article.
