Move over Spotify and Apple Music, YouTube just hit a major podcast milestone

Nowadays, it seems like everyone has a podcast. Whether it’s two friends talking about hot topics going on in the world of sports, or one person telling us about the most outrageous true-crime stories, it’s one of the easiest forms of media for anyone to get involved in, regardless of technical experience. It’s also a relatively easy way to consume content, too. Most people already have a subscription to a music service like Spotify or Apple Music, and with that is a semi-built-in podcast platform. Perhaps not surprisingly, it’s a free service that far outnumbers the lot in terms of viewership, and in a big way.
