Youtube’s Podcast Page: Why Does It Matter & How To Use It?

YouTube podcasts? We know what you’re thinking. YouTube is for visual content, why should audio creators pay any attention at all to the YouTube Podcast Page let alone post content on the platform. Well, it turns out that podcasting on YouTube isn’t that out of place after all. With the launch of YoutTube’s dedicated podcast page, the platform is gearing up to better support podcasters in their endeavors.
YouTube has become a popular destination for podcasters and audiophiles. Though the video platform didn’t intentionally target podcasters, its ease of use, accessibility, and huge audience have understandably organically attracted audio creators.
It makes sense that the platform is now making a concerted effort to accommodate this portion of its community with specific podcast-oriented features. Hence the introduction of a dedicated podcast page, as well as the recent hire of an Executive Podcast Lead whose entire mandate is to manage podcasts on the platform. Earlier this year, it was also reported that YouTube was offering creators $50,000 and podcast networks $300,000 to produce video podcasts to be published on the platform.
