Netflix is making a big bet on video podcasts by Emma Roth

Netflix is no longer just a home for TV shows, movies, documentaries, and live WWE matches — soon, you’ll be able to stream video podcasts, too. The streaming giant announced on Tuesday that it’s partnering with Spotify’s podcast studio and The Ringer to offer 16 series on its platform, including The Bill Simmons Podcast, Conspiracy Theories, as well as The Ringer’s shows on the NFL, NBA, Fantasy Football, and F1.

I was thinking about this a couple days ago - about how YouTube has full control over the video podcast market and how Netflix was not competing on it.

Seems like now they are.
