Facebook Podcasts Starts Rolling Out June 22nd

[engine]

Facebook has said it plans to start open Podcasts from June 22nd in a limited roll out.

Podcasters who publish on the platform will also be opting into Facebook’s podcast terms of service, which you can view here. It’s a relatively standard agreement, although it doesn’t have clear limits around what exactly Facebook can do with the podcasts distributed on its platform. For example, it grants Facebook the rights to make derivative works, which may be necessary for distributing shows in certain formats, but also might alarm podcasters who are protective over their IP.

One might say: "Just what we need: MORE PODCASTS!" said either with glee or gloom, or "Just the ticket!" eager for a strong presence and durable platform. As for the small print, one needs to read it, carefully.

I suspect for many this will be a welcome addition and new opportunities to interface with users in general.
