Do You Really Need a Video Podcast?

from Pod Savvy Guide Hosted by Steph Shoell

Podcasting is starting to look a lot like a full-on TV show. But does your podcast actually need to become one? Video podcasts are everywhere, and there are real benefits to getting your show on camera. But video also means lighting, backgrounds, editing, clips, and a whole new list of tasks that can make hitting record harder than it needs to be. In this episode, I’m sharing my producer take on when video is worth the extra work, when audio is more than enough, and the questions to ask before adding video to your podcast. Because if worrying about the camera is keeping you from publishing at all, hit record without it. Done is better than perfect.
