Podcast Listeners Want Video (The Podcast Host)

Posted Updated

My latest piece for The Podcast Host is up, where I talk about how 46% of podcast listeners want video, and what that means for podcasters:

Back in August, I reported on YouTube rolling out its Podcast feature. Since then, we’ve gotten a 70+ page slide deck from YouTube called “Podcasting on YouTube.”

It’s clear that in 2023, YouTube is going to invest even more in discovery and monetization for podcasting…even as Google Podcasts goes away.

This, coupled with the news that 30% of Americans prefer YouTube for podcasts, and 46% want video for their podcast, means you should put your podcast on YouTube.

  • Do You Really Need a WordPress Podcast Plugin?

    Over on the Crocoblock Blog, I have an article on answering an important question: do you really need a podcast plugin for WordPress? From the piece:

    The most significant thing podcast plugins do is create a valid RSS feed specifically for your podcast. This is the feed you will submit to Apple Podcasts and other directories, with some requirements. It needs tags for: title, description, author, artwork, category (which must map to an Apple Podcast category), and if the show is explicit or not.

    Plus, podcast apps have many podcaster-friendly features you want to take advantage of. Things like donation links, where people can go to send you money or join your membership, transcripts, and feed locking.

I wanted to have a course like this alongside my ACF course because I think there a lot of benefits to CMB2…particularly the ability to bundle it with your own plugin without creating an external dependency. I hope you like it!
