the two that in particular inspired the above grumble (60 Songs and One Song) used to be proper podcasts (60 Songs never had video until very recently; One Song I don’t know but never leaned into it) 😖 is there more ad money in video I wonder

several podcasts I listen to are starting to lean heavier and heavier into video, and I am not sure if they’re doing it because they know that’s where their audience is, or because that’s where they’d like their audience to be.

either way, it’s killing the podcasts for me — why would I want to sit and watch a podcast? podcasts are what I listen to while I do other things.
