Podcasts are now on YouTube Music with an initial launch in the US with global availability promised ‘soon’. The feature started being rolled out at the end of last week and is expected to reach all US listeners shortly. This update allows those watching podcasts on the main app to continue listening to them on YouTube Music.
Listeners can enjoy podcasts on-demand, offline, in the background, while casting and seamlessly switch between audio-video versions on YouTube Music. This podcast listening experience is different from their music listening experience where you need a Premium or Music Premium subscription to enjoy some of these features. YouTube Premium & Music Premium members may experience host-read endorsements or sponsorship messages when listening to podcasts.
This new podcast listening experience complements the podcast video experience on YouTube and they have committed to bringing podcasts in YouTube Music to other regions in the future.
