Seeing is Believing: Should You Add Video to Your Podcast?

Up An Octave

On this week’s episode of Up An Octave, I’m talking about the intersection of audio and video content. Can videos even be podcasts? And, if so, is video right for your show?
With the landscape of podcasting constantly shifting, many podcasters are wondering whether or not incorporating video will add to their shows, help them become more discoverable, and enhance the authenticity of their podcasts.
I discuss the benefits and barriers of adding a visual component to your podcast, share insights from my own experiences and those of my clients, and provide tips for making the leap. Whether you’ve been in the game for a while or you’re just starting out, after this episode you’ll be prepared to make the right decision for yourself.
What You'll Learn:
- The advantages of video podcasting
- Technical considerations and equipment needed for adding video to your podcast.
- How video can enhance the accessibility of your show

Today’s question comes from Morgan.
