The War Between Netflix & YouTube: How Podcasting & Content is Being Reshaped with Ian Schwartzman

Author: iHeartPodcasts January 13, 2026 Duration: 11:57

In this clip, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Schwartzman dive deep into Netflix's recent $100M deal to bring IHeart podcasts—including hits like The Breakfast Club and shows from Joe and Jada—onto their platform. What does this mean for the future of creators, viewers, and the entire podcast industry? Hear Rashad Bilal break down a conversation with Charlemagne about how Netflix is challenging YouTube’s long-standing dominance over creators. The hosts debate whether Netflix’s move will truly shake things up, offering alternative options for content creators who’ve long been under YouTube’s thumb. Troy Millings analyzes Netflix’s strategy to compete with both YouTube and cable TV, highlighting how podcasting and vodcasting (video podcasts) have become crucial to premium content platforms. The conversation uncovers how major platforms are fighting for the most-viewed and most-listened-to content on the planet. The group explores the financial implications for creators and companies—revealing how platform deals can mean guaranteed money but also restrict creator control. They caution that some fans may lose access to their favorite shows as content moves behind Netflix’s walls. Ian Schwartzman brings valuable insights from recent industry conversations, describing how contracts have evolved to include video rights, and how newer creators may trade those rights for bigger checks, sometimes before realizing their true value. Whether you’re a creator, a business-minded viewer, or just fascinated by the seismic shifts in the entertainment landscape, this clip offers powerful commentary on why video rights matter, how platform monopolies are breaking, and what the next decade might hold for podcasts and vodcasts. *Key Topics Discussed:*

  • Netflix’s strategy to acquire podcast video content
  • The ongoing battle between YouTube and Netflix
