How to use PeerTube for Podcasting

Created a guide over the weekend on hosting a podcast with PeerTube. Going with Spotify/YouTube is tempting for many, but they may not have realize…

Why not use castopod.org ? It is also federated via ActivityPub and specifically made for Podcasts.

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’t just listen to it, then it doesn’t qualify as a podcast.

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.

most major podcasts are audio only

Look again. 8 of the top 10 podcasts right now all have video.

it would still not be a podcast if it requires there to be a video with it

None of them “require” video.

Spotify isn’t the only source of podcasts 🙄

And it was you that talked about requiring video.

Spotify has a large enough market share to be considered an authority on what’s popular. If there’s another platform you’d like to share that contradicts my assessment, feel free to share it, but like everything else you’ve said, I assume your response will be something along the lines of “I don’t need to back up my nonsense because everyone knows it already!!!”.

And it was you that talked about requiring video.

I sure didn’t. You literally just made that up.

Sure, now you are backtracking 🙄 Replying to someone suggesting a dedicated podcast platform with “it doesn’t support video” is in no way implying that in needs to support video, right? You are just gishgallopping BS here now 🤷

now you are backtracking

I am not backtracking. You are lying and gaslighting.

Replying to someone suggesting a dedicated podcast platform with “it doesn’t support video” is in no way implying that in needs to support video, right?

…yes? That’s exactly right. Especially in the context of someone asking specifically “why would I use this particular platform?”

Goodbye.
