## Resource

Is a video podcast still a podcast? Or is a podcast inherently an audio-only medium, and the moment you add video, it just becomes a video, or a video of a podcast? This is a question that's been coming up more and more recently, with Apple Podcasts now introducing seamless switching between audio and video, and enabling Apple Podcast video uploads via your podcast host. But some argue that video podcasts aren't actually podcasts at all. That they're just filmed interviews, or YouTube videos, and that podcasting is inherently audio-only. So in this episode, we're going to try and get to the bottom of that. What actually defines a podcast? Where does video come into it? And why it matters in the first place. In this episode, you'll discover - What actually is a podcast? Is a video podcast still a podcast? Where did the term "podcast" come from? The current state of video podcasting. Do you need to do video as a podcaster? If your thinking about the future of podcasting and where video fits into the equation, this is for you.
