That's because Disney
chooses to allow that use. (And that, I suspect, is because YouTube is owned by Google, and not even The Mouse can afford to piss off the world's biggest search engine.)
Every rights holder has its own policy about podcasts, and I believe you have to negotiate with each one individually. With radio, the rights fees are standardized and SOCAN doesn't say no. Every station's money is good enough for them.
You learn about some funny things in my trade. Publishers warn authors never, never, never to quote copyrighted song lyrics in a book, because the same situation arises. You have to negotiate directly with the copyright holder, and they have a habit of demanding more money than the entire book will ever earn. I don't suppose they are much friendlier to podcasters than they are to writers.
