Alongside the announcement of subscription podcasts, Apple has detailed how creators can join the program to get their shows into the service.
Apple Podcasts for Creators
Apple teased the launch of its subscription podcasts at its "Spring Loaded" event, keeping pricing and a precise launch date to be announced later. Alongside the user-facing new podcast service, though, the company has detailed how subscriptions will work for creators and producers.
Rather than one single subscription price, as it has for Apple Music, Apple is letting individual creators set their own pricing. Precise details of the pricing allowed, or recommended, have not been released, but it's up to creators whether they offer monthly and annual subscriptions.
