Acast today announced it will be amongst the first to work with Apple to distribute video podcasts to Apple Podcasts using HLS this Spring. This enables Acast to distribute and monetize video podcast content for creators on the Apple Podcasts platform.
"Apple Podcasts is synonymous with podcasting itself. Bringing video to the platform is a defining moment - expanding what's possible for creators, advertisers, and the medium as a whole", said Greg Glenday, Acast's CEO. "We are proud to help lead this evolution, unlocking new audiences and revenue for Acast creators and a premium new canvas for brand storytelling. This integration reinforces our position as a vital growth engine for modern podcast businesses. We're ensuring that no creator or advertiser leaves revenue or reach on the table."
