The Rundown · Is Spotify in Trouble? New CEOs Face Double Threat from YouTube and Netflix · 18 Jan 2026 podcast

So I could see how if Netflix got into something like that, where it's commentary or behind the scenes on a program that they're launching, people might be interested, even if it's marketed more as like a podcast.

the weekend games i'm just like this doesn't feel like netflix it just feels like i'm watching a youtube video and maybe that doesn't matter and maybe netflix is okay with that but it is it is a little bit off-putting yeah i just don't know how many people are watching netflix on their phones like it might feel a little different if i was watching on my phone versus you know my big screen at home because that's where you're like whoa this is this is a lot in my face all at once

I've reported a little bit on how the money for the biggest podcast stars hasn't been enough to sway them to leave YouTube.

I've seen in the past in podcasting, so it wasn't at the video era.

This was back in the audio era.

There was a company that really made a run for exclusive podcasts.

And I know people who put their shows there exclusively.

And it was really hard when those exclusives ended to rebuild their audience outside of that paywall.

It was Luminary.

Okay.

Yeah.

So that's kind of the other shoe to drop, I guess, is if these deals don't get renewed or if just people decide this actually wasn't really for me or whatever happens, what happens when they return to YouTube and have to rebuild an audience there or start from scratch again?

So that's why I'm sitting back and watching and trying to report on this as we speak.

It's funny because if you had asked me this question a year or two ago, I probably would have been like, no, we're not Epic Podcasts.

Everybody go out and start a podcast, have fun.

But I've seen some signs recently that are kind of giving me pause.

So I actually just wrote about this this week.

There is kind of this subsect of podcast super users who are like, there's more information than ever in podcasts.
