Listen "Don't just listen to podcasts - watch them, says YouTube CEO"
Episode Synopsis
- Podcasting is a mainstream media in Australia, the US and UK with over 50% of people listening to a podcast every month in each country. Our time and attention is limited so what other media is declining?- YouTube is the main access point for news podcasts in the US. - Why are more users willing to pay for ad-free quality digital content (behind paywalls)? What does this mean for the future of advertising if the people who can afford to pay for ad-free content are the same people advertisers want to reach? - Why are "Downloads decreasing for many podcasts" but podcast listen/watch time is growing? - YouTube CEO Neal Mohan spoke at Cannes Lions this week and unsurprisingly he said "people don’t want to just listen”. More worryingly, he also spoke about a new form of branded commercial advertising for podcasts. Will this be more like uninterruptible TV commercials?
