Welcome to this episode of "The Podmaster" which delves into the continuing debate around the trend of 'video podcasts' and whether we need to take it more seriously in 2025.

The article that inspired this episode is this one from Vulture - https://www.vulture.com/article/will-video-kill-the-audio-star-in-2025

Hi, I'm Neal Veglio, The Podmaster, and I want to open this topic by acknowledging that I'm an OG in podcasting and massively fond of its origins as an audio format.

Audio podcasts have traditionally provided a unique intimacy and portability for listeners.

However, with the recent surge in popularity of video podcasts, spearheaded by influential figures like Joe Rogan, there’s a palpable shift in how creators engage with their audiences.

So I'm posing a critical question: Is the move towards video a genuine evolution in the medium, or merely a passing trend?

And talking of video podcasting, is Spotify trying to muscle in on YouTube's turf?
