Attached: 1 image 1/3 - WTF its only Monday and Apple just dropped the biggest podcasting news of 2026! Did you know Apple already supported video podcasting - MP4 - (but didn't tell anyone)? Now they have finally decided to support their own video technology called HLS - see below for more details. The podcasting 2.0 community has been asking Apple executives to do this for over two years but it has fallen on deaf ears until today.

Let’s discuss what this means for the podcasting industry!

Ad loads are increasing, for sure. @Podnews covered some of that on https://podnews.net/update/podcast-ads-concern
Having worked in the advertising business for 20 years before abandoning it a decade ago, I say with confidence that sophisticated ad ops teams are paying attention to many metrics, including drop rate.

@phillycodehound@podcasting.chat I agree. Sponsorship spot after intro. I have no plans of doing this professionally so I won't have ada. But as long as they're topical, and not too many, absolutely.
