YouTube Music now has podcasts

0:12

on the website version. If you

0:15

're in the US or user US VPN,

0:17

you'll see a podcast tab, recommended episodes, you'll

0:20

find lists of podcasts and episodes,

0:23

you can add them to your library and the player has a

0:26

skip forward and skip back button, which

0:28

aren't there for music. YouTube

0:30

Music's web version is usually very similar to the

presumably podcasts through the

0:54

out the overpaying and over investing and what I can start

0:57

out by saying is we're not going to do that. We're going to be very

1:01

diligent in how we invest in future content deals and the

1:05

ones that aren't performing obviously we won't renew

1:08

and the ones that are performing we will obviously

1:11

look at those on a case by case basis on the

1:14

relative value.

1:16

And talking about renewals,

1:19

Spotify he says is in a good place.

1:21

Because we are now the largest podcasting platform that means

1:25

we should be in a better position should we want to

1:29

renew a deal. Worth while remembering that

1:32

Joe Rogan's $200 million deal

1:34

is up for renewal in the next six months.

2:03

almost three times the downloads per person than

2:06

Spotify. PodScripe has launched a new

2:09

content analysis tool powered

2:12

by ChatGPT. It uses the existing

2:21

high risk categorization of content. You can join the
