Is a video podcast a podcast? IMHO, yes. BUT… the show needs to be on RSS and be available for download on more platforms/apps than just YouTube.

If it’s just a YouTube video then let’s call it what it is… all together now… a YouTube video.

Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not a Podcast without an RSS feed.

Right @james@bne.social and @samsethi@podcastindex.social?

‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

Much of the drive behind video content comes from its potential as a marketing tool for the show. Footage can easily be clipped up and shared on social media
