Winner: Google
Our success this week is Google after the company finally rolled outsupport for podcasts on YouTube Musicin the US .
Like Spotify , YouTube Music will allow users to move between the audio and video interlingual rendition of a podcast directly within the audio streaming app . This feel like something that has long been missing from YouTube Music , especially considering how popular its picture - focused counterpart has been for watching video recording podcasts .
Podcasts have been a huge domain of investment for Spotify in recent years with 5 million podcasts currently useable across the app . Apple Podcasts is also an unbelievably democratic goal for the format , with more than 2 million championship host on its own app .
alas , there ’s currently no word on when YouTube Music ’s podcast tab will be available in the UK ( or anywhere else in the world ) . Google first denote that podcast support would be coming to the US in February , so , hopefully , it wo n’t be long before the residue of the mankind is invited to get on board .
Loser: Twitter
