Facebook hasn't been shy about sharing what it plans in the audio space. We learn that the company is almost ready to launch its podcast platform, which is coming to Facebook next Tuesday. Facebook has been sending out emails to podcast creators informing them that a new podcast page will go live on June 22. This page will allow Facebook users to listen directly from there. A new Podcasts tab will also be introduced into the social media site.
Like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more, anyone can set up an RSS feed to add a podcast to Facebook. Once the show is approved, any new episode will automatically be uploaded there. You can unpublish or remove your podcast at any time.
Facebook will also introduce a new Clips feature, where creators can promote podcasts using short clips from episodes that can be easily shareable on the site.
9to5Mac pointed out that in the terms of service of the podcast platform, Facebook mentioned it has the right to make "derivative works" with the content. We don't know what that means, but it might be worth looking into before bringing your podcast to Facebook.
