Ep 94: Taking Your Podcast from Audio-Only to a Video Podcast – with Kendall from Riverside.fm

In this episode, I'm joined by Kendall from Riverside, and we're recording this episode at the Podcast Show London. Kendall and I have been trying to get together for almost a year now to record an episode. Our schedules and timezones just haven't aligned until this event when I basically accosted her at the Riverside booth. No time like the present, right?We start by chatting about the rise of video podcasting, which a fun quiz at the Spotify booth revealed is the fastest growing segment of podcasting right now. Kendall shares her insights on why video is taking off - it allows creators to connect with their audience in a more personal way and repurpose content for social media. Her top tip? Just start recording video alongside your audio recordings. Don't overcomplicate it at first. Simply use a tool like Riverside's video recording capabilities to capture video versions. Then see how you like working with that video content before potentially expanding into a bigger video strategy.We also discuss the tendency creators have to want to do ALL THE THINGS right away, when a gradual buildup is much more sustainable. As Kendall says, the flashy "overnight successes" you see have usually been quietly creating for 5+ years beforehand.Check out past episodes I've done reviewing Riverside's tools:👉 Ep 17: Riverside.fm: Everything You Need To Know To Record Your Podcast Remotely📹 Full Riverside.fm Tutorial for Beginners 2023 | Record, Edit, and Produce Your Podcast 🔉https://youtu.be/l4gb4g3ll1MTry Riverside for free ➡️ https://veritysangan.com/riversideHighlights:The challenges of scheduling, time zones, and work commitments in organizing the conversationGrowth of video podcasting in recent quartersTransition from audio to video podcastingEnhancing connection with the audience through video podcastingAdvice on incorporating video into podcasting efforts graduallyReaching a wider audience through video podcastingCreating engaging content for video podcastsImportance of meeting listeners where they already areImportance of audio quality in remote recordingsTimestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:25 Discussion on the Growth of Video Podcasting00:02:43 The Rise of Video Podcasting00:06:47 Discussing the Potential of Video Podcasting📧 Subscribe to the Newsletter >> https://veritysangan.com/newsletter🔗 Read the Blog >> https://veritysangan.comDon't forget to subscribe to the show!
