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.

gate keeping an imaginary gate again. arguing for the sake of argument. incorrectly.

nobody is saying it requires video, just that its common for podcasts to have it. which it is. and if people want to host a video version on peerview, they have that option. and it doesnt make it less of a podcast to have video.

there are audio only podcasts, and optional audio +/- video podcasts. they are all considered podcasts. you just have more options to view as well as listen, if you choose.

also the majority of the top 100 and top 150 lists of podcasts all have video counterparts (google it) so lets not spread misinformation to fit our narrative, this number is also drastically increasing year over year. do the majoriry of ALL podcasts also have video? no. most amateur or smaller / creatively different podcasts dont require video in addition. they get by just fine on audio, or dont think video helps them creatively, or maybe they just cant afford the setup they want yet.

bottom line. a podcast can have video. and still be considered a podcast. and it can be hosted on peerview if people wish, and still be a podcast.

theres zero wiggle room on this quantified fact.

1 + 1= 2, gravity exists, the world is round, water is wet, im gonna go make breakfast for my wife and then go for a bike ride.

i love you bro, go hug someone today, because i cant be there to do it myself. i hope you have a good meal soon.

nobody is saying it requires video

Please read the thread again. It started with someone claiming that if it doesn’t support video, it can’t be used for podcasts, which is just ridiculous 🙄 And I never claimed that a podcast can’t also have an alternative distribution method via video. You are arguing a complete strawman.

brother, we can all read, and we can all see you are full of shit. lmao.

im gonna make some beef souvlaki and tzatziki sauce, then probably go and make sweet, passionate love to my wife, if we arent too full after dinner, then watch our programs until we fall asleep.

you can jerk yourself off in the comments, and bullshit the internet to your hearts content.

good luck kiddo, you’re gonna need to get a lot better at this if you want to be the “bestess ninernet debatoh” someday, lmao.

You put surprisingly lot of effort into having the last word in an internet debate… go ahead and make passionate love to your imaginary wife then 🤡

looks over at wife of three years, she fades into fairy dust because some low tier debate bro on the internet doesnt believe women exist

I would change your waifu pillow if it is three years old already 🤷
It’s a long term committed relationship!
whats a waifu pillow?? sorry for my ignorance, im employed.
What a lame excuse. You can do better. Since you seem to like to put a lot of effort into getting the last word in, how about posting a nice picture of you and your waifu pillow?

fine, you win. here you go, ninernet debatoh. you twully ahr da bess, dis iz is wut u wanned, can i pway wobwox now in pees?
