Podcast Production & Audio — 2026-09-24
Industry News
Apple Podcasts Subscriptions to support video. Apple announced that Podcasts Subscriptions will soon support video, letting creators offer subscriber-exclusive video episodes, ad-free video, early access, and bonus content to audiences in more than 170 countries and regions across Apple devices and the web.

Podcast Movement 2026 debuts in NYC. Podcast Movement held its first New York City edition at Terminal 5, with key takeaways spanning AI search, podcasting's history, platform growth, and what attendees see as the industry's next era.

Production Tip
If you run a paid or subscription show, start planning for Apple's video subscription tier now. The subscriber-exclusive video format (early access, ad-free episodes, bonus content) effectively turns your existing audio workflow into a monetizable video catalog — even a simple static-video render of your audio can qualify a feed for the new tier.
Tool Spotlight
AnyToSpeech — a browser-based AI platform combining voice generation, voice cloning, transcription, and podcast production, aimed at content-heavy small businesses that need audio output without studio-level budgets.
