Midweek News: Headliner’s New Video Tool & The Rise of Kids Podcasts

Headliner has entered the short form video space. While our fearless leader Marc Ronick is helping with vital resources for Hurricane Helene victims, the rest of the crew takes the wheel to cover podcast headlines and share stories about which major platforms' new features are shaping the future of podcasting! From Headliner’s new video clip integration, to Apple and Spotify podcast charts, we explain why these updates are important for podcasters. We also discuss the latest YouTube Shorts update, along with competition from TikTok, which is generating significant attention. Find out how Instagram's removal of the follow-only feed affects how users discover new content and engage with creators and why Instagram may have chosen to eliminate this feature. Tune in now to stay informed, inspired, and ahead of the curve as podcasting evolves!
