Remember when podcast meant audio only ?
While images make sense in some contexts I feel the worst part of video-podcasts is that it makes costs so high you inevitably have to depend on big tech to host and serve.
It’s like 2000 MB for Full HD MP4 instead of 60 MB for 128 Kbits AAC. One can be hosted, archived & served cheaply . The other not so much if you have tens of thousands of listeners. So Google & pals end up “owning” anything with audience.
