YouTube announced a series of new Premium features designed to enhance the podcast listening experience as podcast consumption on the platform continues to grow. The company revealed that YouTube Podcasts now reaches more than 1 billion monthly active viewers globally, and Premium subscribers have emerged as some of the platform’s most engaged podcast consumers. According to YouTube, Premium members watched more than 800 million hours of podcast content in April 2026 alone. To better serve these users, the company is rolling out several new podcast-focused capabilities across its platform. One of the headline additions is On-the-go Mode, a new listening experience designed for podcast consumption while moving. The feature provides larger playback controls, simplified navigation, chapter access, and a more audio-centric interface. It is available now on Android devices and is expected to arrive on iOS in the coming months.

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Backrooms , now in theaters. When failed architect and struggling furniture store owner Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor) discovers a mysterious portal in the basement of his strip mall warehouse that leads to a sprawling, maze-like dimension of drab, yellow-wallpapered rooms, he becomes obsessed with exploring the nightmarish realm. Unfortunately, he's very much not alone in this liminal labyrinth. Backrooms, directed and co-written by 20-year-old YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Kane Parsons, follows Clark as he drags his assistant manager Kat (Lukita Maxwell), her boyfriend Bobby (Finn Bennett), and, eventually, his therapist, Dr. Mary Kline (Renate Reinsve), down the rabbit hole of this terrifying alternate reality with him. It's a slow-burn horror that relies on the unsettling nature of that uncanny limbo to build atmospheric dread before ratcheting up to true cosmic horror. It also has years of internet lore backing up its premise. Where did the "Backrooms" come from? Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor) enters an otherworldly dimension in Backrooms.

Media entrepreneur and stand-up comedian Byron Allen now is the majority owner of BuzzFeed — the struggling digital media player that Allen plans to use to launch a free-streaming platform that he imagines will rival video colossus YouTube. “Our vision is to build on the iconic foundation of BuzzFeed and HuffPost by expanding into free-streaming video, audio and user-generated content,” said Allen, who is now chairman and CEO of BuzzFeed after buying approximately 51% of its outstanding shares in a $120 million deal. “As of this moment, with the power of AI, BuzzFeed is officially chasing YouTube to become another premier free-streaming video service.” With Allen taking over the company, BuzzFeed founder and former CEO Jonah Peretti has taken on the newly created role as “president of BuzzFeed AI.” The company said that in the new role, Peretti “will bring his strategic focus to applied AI research, product innovation and the development of new technology-driven media formats.” Popular on Variety Peretti called Allen “a force of nature and an incredible media mogul” and said his skills “are very complementary to mine.” Allen’s “deep relationships with advertisers, partners and sources of capital free me to focus on what I’ve always loved
