YouTube has announced a significant milestone of 1 billion monthly podcast users, according to Tim Katz, Vice President of Partnerships for Podcasts. He noted that podcasts like Keke Palmer's 'Baby This is Keke Palmer' and the 'Lex Fridman Podcast' are gaining popularity, showcasing YouTube's diverse content offerings. Last year, viewers reportedly watched over 400 million hours of podcasts monthly on living room devices. This announcement follows speculation of YouTube introducing a new 'premium light' subscription tier for ad-free podcast access. Katz ended on a positive note, hinting at more developments ahead.
