YouTube has added podcasts to its 'Explore' page months after a leak in March revealed the company's plans on creating a “podcast destination page.”
YouTube.com/podcasts is now live and is linked to the existing Explore page.
YouTube is popularly the hub for streaming podcasts and the service had been expected to become more optimized. The shift seems to have happened in July, though it is slowly being rolled out to other countries.
The feature is available on desktop and mobile applications, where the carousals can be expanded to display “Show all,” for “Popular episodes,” “Popular podcast playlists,” “Recommended,” and “Popular podcast creators.”
Users can browse through regular video thumbnails, and with just a tap, a regular player on Android will begin playing the video, not defaulting to “Listening controls”. There are larger buttons and shortcuts to like, save, and adjust the playback speed.
The YouTube podcast experience is expected to get more optimized for end users soon, as the company integrates podcasts on the same platform instead of creating a separate app.
