Should I Use a YouTube Video CTA or use the Related Video feature?

Are you a podcaster leveraging YouTube Shorts to expand your reach and drive engagement? You're creating concise, compelling content, but are you directing your audience effectively to your longer-form work? While the urge to add a direct call-to-action (CTA) to your Shorts might be strong, YouTube offers a more powerful and integrated solution: the "Related Video" feature.
