“#Apple fires up the podcast war with subscript<\/a>ions and an app redesign<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

At today\u2019s \u2018Spring Loaded\u2019 event, Apple fired a shot that could remodel the whole podcast industry. And, damn, I\u2019m excited.<\/p>\n

Tim Cook announced two major things that\u2019ll have a large impact on the industry.<\/p>\n

The first is a long awaited redesign of the Podcasts app. Cook mentioned that each show will have a dedicated page, as well as a browsing function that will help people discover more shows.<\/p>\n

This is sorely needed \u2014 as anyone who has uses the current Apple Podcasts app is well aware of its limitations.<\/p>\n

But the big news<\/a> is the launch of Apple Podcast Subscriptions. This service will allow creators to monetize and grow the business side of their shows.<\/p>\n

For users, this will open up things like advert-free episodes, early access to new series<\/a>, and premium content.<\/p>\n

This is a hugely important step that\u2019s set to shake up the whole podcast industry.<\/p>\n

Currently, there are three major ways for podcasters to earn money: adverts, services like Patreon, and selling out to Spotify.<\/p>\n

With Apple entering the market with Podcasts Subscriptions, it\u2019s bound to shake up the industry.<\/p>\n

Alongside this, the company has rolled out a new\u00a0Apple Podcasts for Creators website. This will help those in the industry stay updated with news and features, as well as making it easier to manage podcasts.<\/p>\n

For example, creators will be able to edit metadata, manage show availability, and access more listener metrics. On top of this, there are new tools available for users to organize the aforementioned subscription program.<\/p>\n

In other words, Apple is getting closer to being a one-stop shop for podcast creators.<\/p>\n

The release of Apple Podcasts Subscriptions and a redesign of the app have been sorely needed \u2014 and other movers and shakers in the industry must\u00a0take note.<\/p>\n

It might have taken some time, but Apple has shaken up\u00a0the entire podcast industry.<\/p>\n

The new redesign will launch in May across 170 countries.<\/p>\n
