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.

Why not use https://castopod.org/ ? It is also federated via ActivityPub and specifically made for Podcasts.

    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”

    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.

    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.

    A podcast isn’t defined by its contents, but by the way it is distributed. Most modern podcasts are people speaking into microphones like it’s a radio show, but it doesn’t have to be that. Video podcasts aren’t much of a thing since YouTube, but they still exist. I used to watch a good amount of videos on iTunes’s podcast section in podcast’s early days.

    Indeed it is defined by it's delivery method to an audio player. Even the term derives from the audio only iPod.

    A common definition would be:

    An audio programme in a compressed digital format, delivered via an RSS feed over the Internet to a subscriber and designed for playback on computers or portable digital audio players, such as the iPod.

    most major podcasts are audio only

    Look again. 8 of the top 10 podcasts right now all have video.

    it would still not be a podcast if it requires there to be a video with it

    None of them "require" video.

    Spotify isn't the only source of podcasts 🙄

    And it was you that talked about requiring video.

    Spotify has a large enough market share to be considered an authority on what's popular. If there's another platform you'd like to share that contradicts my assessment, feel free to share it, but like everything else you've said, I assume your response will be something along the lines of "I don't need to back up my nonsense because everyone knows it already!!!".

    And it was you that talked about requiring video.

    I sure didn't. You literally just made that up.

    Sure, now you are backtracking 🙄 Replying to someone suggesting a dedicated podcast platform with "it doesn't support video" is in no way implying that in needs to support video, right? You are just gishgallopping BS here now 🤷

    I am not backtracking. You are lying and gaslighting.

    Replying to someone suggesting a dedicated podcast platform with "it doesn't support video" is in no way implying that in needs to support video, right?

    ....yes? That's exactly right. Especially in the context of someone asking specifically "why would I use this particular platform?"

    Goodbye.

    gate keeping an imaginary gate again. arguing for the sake of argument. incorrectly.

    nobody is saying it requires video, just that its common for podcasts to have it. which it is. and if people want to host a video version on peerview, they have that option. and it doesnt make it less of a podcast to have video.

    there are audio only podcasts, and optional audio +/- video podcasts. they are all considered podcasts. you just have more options to view as well as listen, if you choose.

    also the majority of the top 100 and top 150 lists of podcasts all have video counterparts (google it) so lets not spread misinformation to fit our narrative, this number is also drastically increasing year over year. do the majoriry of ALL podcasts also have video? no. most amateur or smaller / creatively different podcasts dont require video in addition. they get by just fine on audio, or dont think video helps them creatively, or maybe they just cant afford the setup they want yet.

    bottom line. a podcast can have video. and still be considered a podcast. and it can be hosted on peerview if people wish, and still be a podcast.

    theres zero wiggle room on this quantified fact.

    1 + 1= 2, gravity exists, the world is round, water is wet, im gonna go make breakfast for my wife and then go for a bike ride.

    i love you bro, go hug someone today, because i cant be there to do it myself. i hope you have a good meal soon.

    Please read the thread again. It started with someone claiming that if it doesn't support video, it can't be used for podcasts, which is just ridiculous 🙄 And I never claimed that a podcast can't also have an alternative distribution method via video. You are arguing a complete strawman.

    Nope, you're just making shit up again. All I said was that Castopod does not support video podcasts.

    And I never claimed that a podcast can't also have an alternative distribution method via video

    There is no alternative distribution method. It's the same distribution method (RSS).

    brother, we can all read, and we can all see you are full of shit. lmao.

    im gonna make some beef souvlaki and tzatziki sauce, then probably go and make sweet, passionate love to my wife, if we arent too full after dinner, then watch our programs until we fall asleep.

    you can jerk yourself off in the comments, and bullshit the internet to your hearts content.

    good luck kiddo, you're gonna need to get a lot better at this if you want to be the "bestess ninernet debatoh" someday, lmao.

    What a lame excuse. You can do better. Since you seem to like to put a lot of effort into getting the last word in, how about posting a nice picture of you and your waifu pillow?
