Description

Let’s look at what upgrading video on Apple Podcasts means for podcasting as an industry.

Apple Podcasts is rolling out support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). Bryan Barletta breaks down what HLS actually is, how it handles video, audio, and dynamic ad delivery through HLS Interstitials, and what it means to have early buy-in from hosting platforms like  Acast, Amazon’s ART19, Triton’s Omny Studio, and SiriusXM Media.
