[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [Twitter and Youtube are getting serious about podcasts]( Audio had its moment of glory during the first lockdown when [Clubhouse]( reached its peak and podcasting blew up. But is it back? Tbh, It never really went away. According to Buzzsprout’s [latest report](, podcasting continues to be on an upward slope, with over one-third (104M) of Americans listening to podcasts regularly. It looks like more of these folks listen to podcasts than have Netflix accounts. Youtube recently announced a [dedicated podcasts page](, which will allow users to explore new and popular podcast episodes, shows, and creators, as well as recommend podcast content. For creators, Youtube will also provide audio-first analytics. Earlier this year, an 84-page deck was leaked, which revealed the company’s plans for podcasts, including its focus on featuring new audio ads sold by Google. Hello, new revenue stream. 💸 Twitter is joining in the fun, too. On Thursday, the company announced the launch of a new version of Twitter Spaces, branded as [Stations](. Slightly different from traditional podcasting apps and feeds, Stations features topic-based playlists that will include both episodes from RSS feeds, as well as Twitter-native audio clips and recordings. By the looks of it, makers are also excited by the future of audio–we’ve seen plenty of great launches recently that point to that. [Zencastr]( launched [Zencastr 3.0](, which now lets creators record, publish, and monetize their episodes all from the same place. [Galas]( helps podcasters receive more feedback from listeners by allowing them to create a forum-like page for discussions that can be added to their show notes. [EditEddy by Headliner]( lets you upload your audio, get a transcript, then edit your audio by editing the text. You can use it to remove filler words and correct any errors in the transcript.
