Apple Podcasts Moves Into Video: What This Actually Means...

What this episode covers

Apple Podcasts has officially moved into video podcasting, and it’s a bigger shift than a lot of podcasters realise. With support for HLS video, Apple will now allow creators to publish video podcasts on Apple Podcasts and give listeners the option to switch between audio and video in the same feed. In this episode, I break down what this update actually means for podcasters and whether it’s something you should be paying attention to right now. I cover how Apple Podcasts video works, what HLS streaming actually is in simple terms, and why this matters if you’re already publishing video podcasts on YouTube or Spotify. If you’ve been wondering whether Apple entering the video space changes your podcast distribution strategy, this video will help you understand where it fits and whether it’s worth adding to your workflow. I also talk about the practical side of video podcast production. That includes the extra costs that come with cameras, lighting, good audio, and creating a setup that actually looks good on screen. Not every podcast needs video, and not every creator should feel pressured to jump into video podcasting straight away. If your show works best as an audio-first podcast, that is still completely valid. I also get into the bigger questions around podcast monetisation, Apple Podcasts analytics, and whether uploading your show as a video podcast on Apple Podcasts could hurt your YouTube views or YouTube monetisation. If you’re a podcaster, content creator, or business owner trying to decide between audio vs video podcasting, this episode will help you think it through clearly.
