Big news to kickstart 2026 for open podcasting! 
Audio + Video in one feed. Full Creator control and easier discovery.

The iHeart app will soon support video podcasting via open RSS, with no extra uploads and no lost ad revenue for creators & publishers. Audiences can choose to listen or watch, making shows simpler to discover and consume.

Huge credit to the iHeartRadio team for keeping the ecosystem open, scalable and creator first. Thanks to Podnews for the article:

What’s in and what’s out for podcasting in 2026? 
Love this take from the brilliant Lauren Passell & Arielle Nissenblatt, focused on what actually moves audiences.

What resonated for me - back to basics:
- Measurement beyond downloads: Listen through, comments, and email subscribers tell the real story.
- Video for the right reasons and moments: Add visuals to expand reach or deepen audience relationships. Skip it when audio carries the experience best.
- Features over bonus content: Curate something useful and intentional for your feed. Not leftovers.
- Stick with your values: Choose platforms and partners that fit you, your show and your audience.
- Always on: Build a steady drumbeat.

What's IN and what's OUT for podcasting (creator trends, audience growth tips, monetization ideas...) for 2026?

Lauren Passell and I just published our fourth annual IN/OUT list, and we invite you to check it out! Agree? Disagree? LET US KNOW.

Sneak peek of what you'll find in this article:

OUT.
- Feed drop blasts
- Giving up on promo swaps or other collabs because they didn’t convert in huge numbers
- Non-specific ad/promo copy
- Everyone thinking they need a YouTube channel
- AI. We joked about it, we fucked with it, we’re tired of it.

IN.
- Pitching yourself to speak at events
- Marketing. Seriously.
- Capturing email subscribers even if you don’t start a newsletter
- OK, hear us out…season TWO is the new season one.

Read on for expanded thoughts on the above. As always, we try out best to share tangible, actionable insights!

We're going live to discuss the list today, too! Hope to see you there (link in the article)
