Why Video Podcasts Attract More Attention (and How to Get Started)

If you’re only recording audio for your podcast, you could be missing out on thousands of potential listeners — or rather, viewers.

In today’s digital world, podcasts aren’t just something you listen to — they’re something you watch. Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram have created a massive audience for video podcasts, and the numbers don’t lie: video content gets 1,200% more shares than text and links combined.

Here’s why adding video to your podcast might be the smartest move you make:

1. 📺 Video Builds Trust Faster

People connect more deeply when they can see you — your expressions, your energy, your authenticity. It creates a sense of intimacy that audio alone can’t match.

2. 🔍 You Get Found More Easily

Video podcasts rank better in search, especially on platforms like YouTube and Google. The more places your content lives, the easier it is for your audience to find you.

3. ✂️ You Can Repurpose Easily

Each recording becomes a content goldmine. Chop it up into reels, shorts, audiograms, or quote cards. One video session can fuel your entire content calendar.

4. 📈 Brands Prefer Video Collabs

If your goal is to monetize or work with sponsors, brands love video. Why? It’s engaging, trackable, and gives them more exposure.

5. 🧩 It’s Easier Than You Think

With the right setup, recording a video podcast isn’t any harder than recording audio. Especially if you use a full-service studio like Just Talk Studios, where all you have to do is show up and talk.
