Introduction

We've scored an opportunity to peek into YouTube's RSS ingestion process, and we're taking a detailed look at the challenges podcasters face with YouTube integration. We compare YouTube views to podcast downloads, understanding YouTube's terms of service and discussing the technical prowess needed for Buzzsprout to fetch YouTube stats. We'll also debate the pros and cons of YouTube's podcasting strategy and the impact it has on content creators.

As we wrap up, we'll explore the ripple effect of iOS 17 on podcast downloads and the potential repercussions of Spotify's guest tagging feature.  And in the Sound-Off segment we've got a special surprise - we're gifting one lucky listener their wishlist item!
