YouTube Music introduces podcasts to US listeners on all platforms.

YouTube Music has officially launched podcasts on its platform in the US, allowing users to listen to them on-demand, offline, in the background, and while casting. The update includes a new "Podcasts" tab on the YouTube Music Home tab, which displays recommended episodes and favorite podcasts. The feature is available to all users, regardless of whether they have a YouTube Premium subscription. YouTube plans to bring podcasts to users outside the US soon and will offer creators the option to directly upload their audio podcasts via RSS feeds to both YouTube and YouTube Music.
