    A source tells TheWrap that Netflix is betting on video podcasts to capture your attention while outside the platform:

    When people aren’t spending time on Netflix, we want to win as much of that as possible.

    In addition to a podcasting deal with Spotify, rumors suggest that Netflix is considering licensing shows from iHeartMedia and SiriusXM — and maybe even launching its own podcasts, too.
