Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

Hey, Podcasters!

It feels like every week there's a new post asking the same question:

"Should I start a video podcast?"

With video showing up in more podcast directories, and with Buzzsprout ​now offering video plans​, it's easy to feel like you're falling behind if you're not recording every episode on camera.

Video can be a great fit for some shows! It can help if your content has a visual component, if you want more options for promotion, or if your audience enjoys watching as much as listening.

But before you start shopping for cameras and redesigning your recording space, it's worth taking a step back.

This week on ​Podcasting Q&A​, Cara and Jordan break down three things to consider before adding video to your workflow:

• The extra time it takes to record and edit video 
• The real costs of hosting and storing video files 
• Whether your audience actually wants a video version of your show

One of my favorite takeaways from the episode is that video isn't automatically better, but it's not automatically worse, either.

The right answer depends on your show, your audience, and the kind of experience you're trying to create!

If you've been wondering whether video is worth it, this episode will help you make the decision with confidence.
