Just wanna say that there's no such thing as a "video podcast". You can have a video. You can have a podcast. You can have both, but you cannot have a "video podcast". I will die on this hill.
Also this guy actually had a podcast but abandoned it late last year. Presumably because they couldn't monetize it properly. This is exactly the kinda bullshit that we're seeing more and more, and why I'm calling this out.
Please don't support channels like this. Please stop calling it a "video podcast". It's just a video interview.
Semantics. A podcast is and was something that was typically long format akin to a talk show - that was something that could be listened to without requiring you to watch it. It is not audio exclusive. Many radio shows may and do have video feeds but that does not prevent them from being called radio shows.
Weren't they called videocasts at one point?
I don't really think that's a great word either. If you break down "podcast", pod = iPod, obvi, because that's how they were originally played back. "Cast" (as in "broadcast") suggests the method of distribution across the web (RSS).
You don't need to reinvent a new word for every type of video. They're just called videos. If you wanted to be more specific you could call it a "video interview", as I alluded to above.
Why call it a podcast? Digital audio interviews existed before the iPod. Just following your logic.
I guess my point it, why does it matter? We both know what it means. The language has accomplished its goal of communication.
You're not following my logic because you don't understand it. A podcast is not a "digital audio interview".
The core concept of what makes a podcast a podcast is the method audio files are distributed (RSS).
I guess my point it, why does it matter?
Because you're conflating an open distribution method with a proprietary one.
We both know what it means.
You obviously don't understand what it means.
The language has accomplished its goal of communication.
It didn't actually. If it had, I wouldn't have pulled up my podcast app to find and listen to this episode, only to find that it didn't exist.
