Podcasts that are produced to be watched should not be allowed to be called podcasts. It is ruining the genre by taking away the simple pleasure of listening only, and being encouraged to stare at a screen and consume ads and product placement.
@anon_opin not only that but they often make visible gestures that don't work on audio so you're forced to watch to follow the narrative.
Mate, I'm out for a walk and just want something to listen to.
