What is a podcast in 2025? We called in Rob Greenlee to provide insights into the evolving landscape of podcasting, focusing on the rise of video podcasting. He discusses how platforms like YouTube and Spotify are reshaping the industry, challenging traditional RSS-based distribution. We tried to land on the definition of a podcast, emphasizing content over distribution method.
We talked metrics, monetization, and content creation for new podcasters. Rob highlighted the importance of personal branding and adapting to technological changes, including the potential impact of AI on media. The group debates the future of local podcasting and the difficulties creators face in generating revenue. Things are changing. Fast.

We talked a lot about video - so it only makes sense that we put the video here.
One of the things I did want explained was HLS. I have no idea what that is. But Justin Jackson, owner of Transistor.FM wrote a great piece about its importance. You can read it here. It provides a really good explaination about the future of video in podcasts and debunks the myth that I perpetuated that video can be cumbersome to download and stream.
