YouTube Podcast News - Coming soon additional analytics, improved discovery and search for podcasts - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips YouTube will fully support ingestion of RSS feeds for podcasts by the end of the year, it was announced at Podcast Movement by the Product Lead Podcasting at Google, Steve McLendon, speaking to Ausha’s Jennifer Han. He also made the first public acknowledgement of the ongoing beta testing that we reported on in May. (It ingests RSS audio feeds and turns them into YouTube-hosted video, like CNN One Thing which we understand is using it.) Within the YouTube Music app, podcasts are currently available in the US, Canada and Latin America, and are on track to complete a global rollout by the end of the year, including a podcast section on the website. The company is also planning additional analytics, and improved discovery and search for podcasts, especially for users who have engaged with podcast content. Podnews has also learnt that YouTube Music updates to expect relatively soon are show-level auto-downloads; and you’ll also soon be able to add any RSS feed to your YouTube Music app - even private RSS feeds - in countries where podcasts on YouTube Music are supported. McLendon stressed to creators that for best results you should mark your show (“playlist”) as a podcast in YouTube Studio, which unlocks additional places where your show will be promoted.
