Online magazine and podcast platform Slate is bringing its content to YouTube. Now, users can access and listen to the full library of podcasts like Slow Burn, Political Gabfest, What Next, and Amicus on Slate’s YouTube channel.
“Discoverability has become one of the biggest challenges across the podcast industry, and we see this as a real opportunity to build scale and reach a new, untapped audience on YouTube, which has become the world’s most-used podcast platform.” said Charlie Kammerer, Slate’s President and Chief Revenue Officer. “We’re excited to make our diverse collection of podcasts available to YouTube’s global audience, and to experiment with new formats and content ideas on the platform.”
YouTube Strategic Partner Manager Stephanie Chan said, “We’re thrilled that Slate’s podcasts are now on YouTube, especially as we’re beginning to roll out both audio and video-first podcasts to YouTube Music for users in the US with more regions to come.”
“We’re already looking forward to the future possibilities and opportunities ahead,” said Andrew Harding, Vice President of Marketing. “We’re exploring short-form video, thinking about how to evolve the video podcast format in a uniquely Slate way, and using automation to bring our podcasts to the platform.”
