Why Start a VIDEO PODCAST in 2023? // Episode 273

Great work Ben! I don't usually go the full length of a long video podcast, unless its worth watching to the end, which yours was.

Thanks for watching and commenting Chris. I think it's still early days for full length podcasts on KZbin but as the platform develops I think there'll be more ways to consume podcasts here. For example, starting watching in the video player and then seamlessly picking it up in an audio only player in the car perhaps?

Thank you for another very insightful video. For me a videopodcast was video content delivered through an RSS-Feed (for iTunes or other podcatchers) in the mid 2000s. Videopodcasts became obsolete when KZbin got big and it was a lot easier to find and watch videos on this platform. So what is your definition of a videopodcast nowadays? What is the difference between a longer video and a videopodcast on KZbin? Only that the latter is put in a podcast-playlist? (here in Switzerland we don‘t have this category in KZbin yet).

Good questions. I think it's still early days for KZbin in how they will support video podcasts. It really is just a longer video but typically it would also be in a 'talking head' or 'interview' style, which would differentiate podcasts from other styles of long form videos. Podcasts are also designed to be episodic, where other KZbin videos often aren't. interestingly - here in Australia we don't yet have the kzbin.info page but we do have the category for our KZbin channels available. Interested to hear if @BrandonBirkmeyer has any views on this?

Thank you for your replay. This makes it more clear to me.
