As promised<\/a>, YouTube Music now offers<\/a> podcasts. In the US, you can launch the Android<\/a> or iOS<\/a> app to stream audio or video podcasts without a Premium or Music Premium subscription. Shows will play in the background, and you can cast them to other devices like speakers.<\/p>\n

The feature is reaching American users “gradually,” YouTube says, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait a little while to see the podcast section. The format is coming to other regions, although YouTube hasn’t provided a timeline. And before you ask: paying members will still have to listen to host-read ads.<\/p>\n

The addition may seem odd when Google already has a Podcasts app<\/a>. This unifies listening for YouTube Music subscribers, though \u2014 and, of course, theoretically entices you to sign up. This could make the app a more viable alternative to Spotify<\/a> if you’re paying for on-demand music and want everything in one place.<\/p>\n

YouTube has been ramping up its podcast efforts<\/a> across the board, including an Explore page for non-Music users. Just don’t count on the service producing a swath of originals like Spotify. The rival has dropped<\/a> some of its originals, and has been expanding distribution<\/a> of Gimlet shows to other platforms. The podcast industry isn’t as hot as it once was, even if there’s still plenty of demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
