YouTube may be the only viable platform for long-form video podcasts, but that does not mean audio-first podcast platforms should abandon video. Instead, podcast platforms should leverage video both as a podcast format and as a marketing driver to increase podcast discovery and consumption. To do so, audio platforms must recognise and improve the features that amplify the power of video — namely, algorithmic recommendations and video creator tools.
