WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE PODCAST WORLD
Google to Merge Podcasts with YouTube Music
credit: YouTube
Google has decided to shut down its Google Podcasts app in 2024 and instead integrate podcasts into YouTube Music. The move is part of a strategy to simplify the podcast listening experience by combining it with music streaming, creating a one-stop audio destination on YouTube Music. Google believes this change will improve podcast discovery, encourage more community interaction, and make switching between audio podcasts and video content easier - an area where Spotify is also making strides. With 23% of weekly podcast users in the U.S preferring YouTube over Google Podcasts' meager 4%, Google sees this transition as a necessary step to cater to user needs and habits.

PODCAST TIP OF THE DAY
How To Use Rev.ai
Rev is a tool that turns spoken words in audio and video files into written text. It uses advanced technology and human editing to ensure accurate transcriptions. It works quickly, has an easy-to-use interface, and supports different languages and file types. Its advanced recognition system also adds punctuation and capitalization, identifies different speakers, and timestamps each word before returning the text to you. The great thing about Rev.ai is that it can understand a speaker's words no matter their accent or if there's stuttering or background noise in the recording.
