On episode 341 of the BSP I talk more about youtube's attempt to break into podcasting. Since episode 340, I learned that this entire announcement has to do with youtube videos being marked as podcasts, and a viewer will now be able to listen to that video in the background while using the youtube music app. Note: I screwed the audio up big time. I started a new Reaper session and it reverted to 24-bit 44.1kHz. So I lost the 32-bit float benefit, and I didn't record in the standard 48kHz. HECK IT ALL!
