• Buzzsprout has launched video distribution to Apple Podcasts. The company is charging $30/month for plans that include video (down to $25/month when billed annually); the plan allows up to 6 hours a month of content to be uploaded. The new pricing page also includes a multi-podcast plan; all plans come with transcript generation. Buzzsprout doesn't, yet, support Spotify video.
