You probably publish your podcast to Apple Podcasts and Spotify. They’re the two biggest podcast listening apps. Most likely, you also send it out to a bunch of other apps, such as overcast (my personal favorite way to listen to podcasts). But, do you also publish to YouTube?
YouTube has over 2.2 Billion Active Users. With that many people, any type of consumable media will find an audience. In fact, podcasting has become so important to YouTube, that they recently appointed Kai Chuk as Podcast Lead (Ashley Carman The Verge). Furthermore, Ashley says in a recent issue of the Hot Pod newsletter, “If there was ever a time to set up a YouTube strategy, now might be it”.
For years, there has been debate amongst podcasters about whether or not to publish to YouTube. “It’s a video platform, not an audio platform!” With YouTube officially jumping into the podcast game, there is no reason not to publish your podcast to such a massive platform.
