What is Vodcast (Video Podcast)?
A Vodcast (Video Podcast) is a podcast that includes video footage of the recording session, distributed on platforms like YouTube and Spotify.
Why Vodcast (Video Podcast) Matters for Podcasters
With the dominance of YouTube and the rise of TikTok clips, 'Vodcasting' has exploded. It involves filming the podcast recording, usually with static cameras on tripods. Video podcasts have a massive discoverability advantage because YouTube's algorithm is superior to any audio podcast directory. Furthermore, having video makes it easy to cut 'Micro-Content' (Shorts/Reels) for social media. Spotify now also supports video podcasts. The downside is the added complexity: lighting, camera angles, and significantly larger file sizes and editing times.
