It doesn’t support video

Since when do podcasts have video?

Since shortly after their inception. ~2003

That’s not a podcast then 🙄

How is it not?

It doesn’t fit the definition of a podcast then.

Sure, some podcasters also upload their podcasts on video sites, but if the video is a vital part of it and you can’t just listen to it, then it doesn’t qualify as a podcast.

Again I ask, how does it not?

You can.

If you need to pay attention to what is on the screen, it is you know, a video and not a podcast. But I feel we are not getting anywhere here and you are just being contrarian for some silly reason 🤷

virtually every major podcast also records video. you can record video, and audio, and still release those together, or separately on different platforms, or for different sub tiers, patrons, etc. and its still considered a podcast.

ive just read your whole spat, and the only person in this exchange who has actually been contrarian (by its definition) has been you.

lets not gate keep a gate that doesnt exist. its pointless.

Well, even if that was true (which it isn’t, most major podcasts are audio only), it would still not be a podcast if it requires there to be a video with it. Of course if the video is just some person speaking into a microphone with no additional vital information included in the video feed, then it can be considered an alternative form of podcast distribution.

A podcast isn’t defined by its contents, but by the way it is distributed. Most modern podcasts are people speaking into microphones like it’s a radio show, but it doesn’t have to be that. Video podcasts aren’t much of a thing since YouTube, but they still exist. I used to watch a good amount of videos on iTunes’s podcast section in podcast’s early days.
