Do NOT Do a Video Podcast (Yet...)
In this video, I discuss why podcasters, especially beginners, should focus on audio-only content rather than feeling pressured to create video podcasts. I explain the challenges of video production, the misconception that video is essential for podcast growth, and why audio podcasts remain powerful and relevant.
