Apple bringing video podcasts to platform

Apple Podcasts is introducing the option to watch video podcasts on its platform, following a recent similar move from Netflix.

Launching in the second quarter of the calendar year, Apple Podcast users will soon be able to toggle between watching or listening to podcasts in the app. A horizontal, full-display option will be available, as well the ability to download shows to watch later.

Acast, SiriusXM, Simplecast, Adswizz, and Triton’s Omny Studio will partner with Apple Podcasts on launch, allowing creators to serve video ads into the shows.
