YouTube Music is moving into podcasts. YouTube proper hosts video versions of many podcasts, some of which accrue hundreds of thousands or even millions of views per episode. The audio service hasn’t ventured into podcast territory just yet, but that’s about to change, YouTube’s podcast chief Kai Chuk announced at the Hot Pod Summit on Thursday.

Background podcast listening will be available for free, according to TechCrunch. However, there will be ads unless you subscribe to YouTube Music. It also seems that users will be able to switch between video and audio versions of podcast episodes.
At least for now, it doesn’t seem that YouTube is planning to follow the likes of Spotify and Amazon by having exclusive and/or original podcasts. Whether YouTube Music can make a dent in Spotify and Apple’s share of the market remains to be seen, but by blending audio and video podcasts together and taking advantage of YouTube’s enormous reach, it can certainly make a play for listeners’ attention.
