Podcasts are built on open standards - podcasters publish once and listeners can choose to listen in any app. Video podcasts should work the same way. The new RSS <podcast:alternateEnclosure> tag keeps podcasting open - allowing podcasters to publish a video version alongside the regular audio - and supporting apps to seamlessly switch between audio and video. Check out our full blog post below 👇 And ask your hosting company, podcast app, or favourite podcast to support open video podcasting! View article →
