Do you really need a video podcast in 2024?

Do you really need video to make your podcast a hit?

I'm Neal Veglio, your Podmaster, and listen, I get it – there's a narrative floating around that you can't succeed without a video component for your podcast.

Just the other day, I came across a bloke from Riverside banging on about how video is a must because YouTube is now the "top podcast app."

If you're under the impression that without video your podcast is doomed, you need to listen to this episode.

About the Podcast

Podmastery: podcasting insights and advice for indie creators
Helping you to attain 'podmastery'
Are you a podcaster who's looking to improve and grow your podcast? You're in the right place. Together, we'll help you attain 'podmastery'.
I'm Neal Veglio, a veteran podcaster who first started dabbling with RSS in the early 2000s.
Podcasting is such a complex medium, with so many factors that can impact your success. It's my goal to cover all these topics with you, and help you maximise the results you're getting from your efforts.
And while my shows now enjoy thousands of listeners every single week, it wasn't always easy.
When I took a career break from radio for a few years in 2007, I had to learn how to build audience without the lift of an FM frequency.
I learned a lot from that experience.
I now help other podcasters to achieve their goals.
Each episode, I'll be offering you some insights into what I've done and what I've helped my podcasting agency clients to do with all our podcasts in the hope we can help YOU increase your podcast's chances of becoming more successful!
And ensuring you can avoid the dreaded 'podfade'!

Neal Veglio

As the UK's longest serving podcaster (having started in 2001 before it was even known as a 'thing') I've seen a lot of changes to the industry. Having launched more than 100 podcasts over the years, I help brands and entrepreneurs to get their marketing messaging out 'in the wild', but in a compelling, not boring way.
