Episode 362 - Dave Steps Into Video Podcasting in 2025 - But It Isn't What You Think, Video Podcast Tips You Can Use Today

As an audio-first podcaster, you can leverage video to supplement your podcast without simply posting raw recordings on YouTube. Here are several strategies to create platform-specific content that enhances your podcast:
Short-Form Video Clips

  • Create bite-sized clips (30-60 seconds) from your podcast episodes highlighting key moments or insights1.
  • Share these clips on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts to reach new audiences and drive them to your full podcast

    • Reflection Videos

    • Record face-to-camera summaries where you share additional insights or behind-the-scenes thoughts about the episode's content4.
    • These reflection videos can serve as teasers for upcoming episodes or provide extra value for your audience.

      • Visual Enhancements

      • Add simple graphics, text overlays, or animations to your audio content to create more engaging video versions2.
      • Use tools like Descript or Riverside to easily add captions and visual elements to your podcast content

        • Platform-Specific Content

        • Create unique video content for YouTube that complements your podcast, such as Q&A sessions, extended interviews, or visual demonstrations of topics discussed in your audio episodes4.
        • Develop a YouTube-specific intro and outro that caters to the platform's audience and encourages subscriptions and engagement

          • Live Streaming

          • Occasionally live stream recording sessions or host live Q&As on platforms like YouTube or Twitch to engage with your audience in real-time

            • Behind-the-Scenes Content

            • Share video snippets of your recording process, equipment setup, or pre-show preparations to give viewers a peek into your podcast production

              • Repurposed Content

              • Transform your podcast episodes into video essays or animated explainers that visually represent the concepts discussed in your audio content

                • By creating platform-specific video content that complements your audio podcast, you can engage with audiences across different platforms while maintaining your audio-first approach. This strategy allows you to tap into the growing video podcast trend without compromising the core audio experience of your show.
