Apple Podcasts goes video-first with HLS-enabled, cross-mode playback

Apple announced a spring rollout of an integrated video podcast experience within Apple Podcasts, enabling seamless switching between watching and listening from the same feed, picture-in-picture, and offline video downloads. The update uses HLS for adaptive video and dynamic ad insertion, with launch partners including Acast, ART19, Omny Studio and SiriusXM. The move highlights competition from YouTube, Spotify and Netflix in the growing video podcast space, and Apple says it will not charge creators for distribution but will collect impression-based fees from participating ad networks.

"Podcast Fakery: Call Her Daddy and Top Shows Manipulate Follower Counts, Reveals Report"

Several top podcasts, including Call Her Daddy, have been using a marketing tool from MowPod to artificially boost their follower counts by incentivizing mobile game users to interact with their content. The tool promises a higher position in the Apple Podcasts Charts and has proven effective at increasing follower counts, downloads, and listening time. However, this practice comes at a premium price, with customers paying $5 per new follower and a required minimum spend of $5,000. The tactic highlights the challenges of breaking into the exclusive top podcast charts and underscores the concentrated success at the top of the podcasting industry.

Apple Podcasts integrates original programming from third-party apps, expanding content library.

Apple has revamped its podcast app with the recent iOS 17 update, aiming to boost original content and expand its audience by allowing users to connect through third-party apps. Over 60 original podcasts are now available to subscribers of Apple Music, Apple News Plus, Calm, and Lingokids, with more than 100 new podcasts on Apple Podcasts. The company plans to launch new shows every week this fall. Subscribers to participating apps will have their subscriptions automatically connect when opening Apple Podcasts, and more third-party apps will be added next month. This move comes as Apple seeks to compete with YouTube and Spotify in the podcasting space, while Google announced the centralization of podcasts in YouTube Music, discontinuing Google Podcasts.
