Or is a podcast inherently an audio-only medium, and the moment you add video, it just becomes a video, or a video of a podcast?
This is a question that’s been coming up more and more recently, with Apple Podcasts now introducing seamless switching between audio and video, and enabling Apple Podcast video uploads via your podcast host.
