The Future of Podcasting is Here

Hey Upodcaster Fam,

Podcasting is changing fast — and we’re here for it. You may have seen the news: Netflix is officially hiring a head of video podcasting. Why does this matter? Because the biggest players in entertainment now see what we’ve believed from the beginning — podcasts aren’t just audio anymore. They’re stories, communities, and shows that deserve to be seen as much as heard.

What’s Next in Podcasting

• Video Podcasts Are Booming

  Platforms like YouTube and now Netflix are investing big in video. Audiences want to watch as much as they want to listen. That means more opportunity for creators like you to grow and monetize across multiple platforms.

• Ad Revenue Is Growing

  The podcast ad market grew 26% in 2024, hitting $2.4B — and it’s expected to pass $2.5B this year. Brands are investing, and creators who are prepared will benefit.

• Cheaper, Faster, Smarter Content

  The trend is clear: studios and platforms want leaner, more cost-effective shows. That’s exactly where indie creators shine.
