Created a guide over the weekend on hosting a podcast with PeerTube. Going with Spotify/YouTube is tempting for many, but they may not have realized how easy/affordable PeerTube has become for hosting and maintaining complete control of a feed.

          I mean they had video iPod shortly after the release of the original iPod so I think a video podcast still fits the definition of “iPod broadcast”

            Four years later and with a really crappy small screen that I doubt anyone used for actually watching videos. Apparently battery life was atrocious too when doing so.

            It doesn’t fit the definition of a podcast then.

            Sure, some podcasters also upload their podcasts on video sites, but if the video is a vital part of it and you can’t just listen to it, then it doesn’t qualify as a podcast.

              Again I ask, how does it not?

              you can’t just listen to it, then it doesn’t qualify as a podcast.

              You can.

                If you need to pay attention to what is on the screen, it is you know, a video and not a podcast. But I feel we are not getting anywhere here and you are just being contrarian for some silly reason 🤷

                  I’m being contrarian? What does that make you?

                  You just keep saying the same nonsense over and over and refusing to back it up in any way.

                    You are arguing like as if TV and radio was the same. But they are not 🤷 I don’t need to back up common definitions of words, you know?

                  virtually every major podcast also records video. you can record video, and audio, and still release those together, or separately on different platforms, or for different sub tiers, patrons, etc. and its still considered a podcast.

                  ive just read your whole spat, and the only person in this exchange who has actually been contrarian (by its definition) has been you.

                  lets not gate keep a gate that doesnt exist. its pointless.

                    Well, even if that was true (which it isn’t, most major podcasts are audio only), it would still not be a podcast if it requires there to be a video with it. Of course if the video is just some person speaking into a microphone with no additional vital information included in the video feed, then it can be considered an alternative form of podcast distribution.
