What It's About

It seems easy enough: upload an audio podcast to YouTube. Is there any reason not to?

Notes from Chris

Episode 2443
From the history-rich backdrop of Williamsburg, Virginia, Nathan is all set to embark on an auditory journey through time with his upcoming podcast, 'Time Travels'. His plan? To deep dive into the intriguing epochs of history and share them with eager listeners. But here's where things get a tad modern: Nathan has noticed a trend of podcasts making their way onto YouTube, branching out to a wider audience.

While he's keen to potentially tap into this vast platform, he's torn between staying audio-centric or dipping his toes into the world of video—even if it's just audio with a static image. Nathan's looking to us for advice: is it worth the leap, or should he stay his current course? Let's dive in and see if we can guide him.

"Hello, I'm Nathan, a history fan from the historic town of Williamsburg, Virginia. I’m planning to start a podcast called 'Time Travels' where I dive into various fascinating periods of history. Before I launch, I’m wondering something. I originally imagined it being audio-only—you know, a normal podcast—but I’ve noticed that some podcasts are now on YouTube as well. I don’t have the ability to invest in video production at this point, but do you think I could just upload the audio files with a thumbnail? I’m curious to know if there’s any downside to this, or if it’s just not worth the effort."
