Ep 94: Taking Your Podcast from Audio-Only to a Video Podcast – with Kendall from Riverside.fm

Updated on

In this episode, I’m joined by Kendall from Riverside, and we’re recording this episode at the Podcast Show London. Kendall and I have been trying to get together for almost a year now to record an episode. Our schedules and timezones just haven’t aligned until this event when I basically accosted her at the Riverside booth. No time like the present, right?

We start by chatting about the rise of video podcasting, which a fun quiz at the Spotify booth revealed is the fastest growing segment of podcasting right now. Kendall shares her insights on why video is taking off – it allows creators to connect with their audience in a more personal way and repurpose content for social media.

Her top tip? Just start recording video alongside your audio recordings. Don’t overcomplicate it at first. Simply use a tool like Riverside’s video recording capabilities to capture video versions. Then see how you like working with that video content before potentially expanding into a bigger video strategy.

We also discuss the tendency creators have to want to do ALL THE THINGS right away, when a gradual buildup is much more sustainable. As Kendall says, the flashy “overnight successes” you see have usually been quietly creating for 5+ years beforehand.
