Should You Start a Video Podcast? What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why Audio Still Wins

Video podcasting is everywhere, but most creators are adding video without understanding what problem it actually solves. In this episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona Costantini breaks down when video actually helps your podcast grow, when it quietly hurts your momentum, and why audio still does the heavy lifting when it comes to trust, retention, and long-term loyalty. This episode dismantles the myth that every podcast must be video-first. You’ll learn why video is a distribution strategy, not a requirement, how YouTube really evaluates content, and why clarity, structure, and consistency matter more than flashy visuals. Simona explains how bad video can stall growth faster than no video at all, why audio completion rates remain higher, and how your voice is the true relationship-builder behind every successful show. If you’ve been feeling pressure to add video, questioning whether it’s worth the effort, or wondering how to grow without burning out, this episode will help you choose a format that supports your voice instead of draining it. This is a grounded, strategic take on podcast growth in 2026, built for creators who want sustainability, not resentment.
