Exclusive: The free podcast hosting platform from Audacy, Audacy Creator Lab, has now added an integration with YouTube, allowing creators to publish video directly to their YouTube accounts. “Podcasting today is no longer audio or video - it’s both,” said Head of Podcasts Leah Reis-Dennis. The new feature simplifies workflow for podcast creators; the company describes it as a “first step in video distribution”.

Podtrac released its “multi-channel podcast ranking” for January. Of the top 200, 69% of the shows do best in audio. 36% of shows are more consumed using clips than the whole episode. The data is global; Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO has risen to #3; Rogan is at #2 and The MeidasTouch is #1 (mostly driven by video and clips).

The American Writing Awards announced its podcast winners. Podcast of the year went to abandoned: The All-American Ruins Podcast.
