The gender bias of video podcasts

In Vulture, Nick Quah writes a full piece about video podcasting, and whether “video will kill the audio star in 2025”. Some people he interviews make the case for enhanced discovery on video platforms. But, others point out a gender bias - men just turn up; but women are expected to “be camera ready”, as a quick check between Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper will point out. A thoughtful piece, it’s worth a read today.

New year’s resolution - please stop asking Alex Goldman to work with PJ Voght again. They “will not work again” in the future, says Goldman, who would prefer you to listen to “the thing I want to make”.

A new podcast aimed at demystifying Podcasting 2.0 launches today. Clare Waite Brown explains, new feature by new feature, how the enhancements to the podcast standards work.
