YouTube provides 14 main podcast categories, while PocketCast offers 19, but neither platform incorporates subcategories. Apple’s inclusion of nine new subcategories, in addition to the 19 primary categories, strikes a balance by providing users with a diverse selection without overwhelming them.
The nine new subcategories, along with the primary categories, have also been updated with fresh artwork and recommendations. These recommendations encompass New & Noteworthy shows, Shows of the Month, Feature Channels, and Creators, as well as global Highlights.
