Great tips. I am thinking about doing podcasts as I’m just going to be talking, and am not very photogenic so I think I will definitely go the audio route.

In planning my music podcast for The Rock and Roll Report I see audio as the primary weekly format with a video podcast as perhaps a monthly special highlighting bands or their videos. I intend to have one compliment the other but for music, IMHO audio is still the way to go, especially where budget (whether it be my own or a band’s) is lacking.

Excellent tips, Jason. Personally, I don’t think anyone should do “talking head” except for Zefrank!

Jason, great post as usual. And let’s be honest, you were talking about Joanne (and Amanda before her) heh ;)

I particularly like your point about using audio and video. At Podcast Spot you can upload a video and it will automatically be converted to a bunch of video formats. You can also check a box to have it converted to audio as well.

To see this in action, check out Neofight at http://neofight.podcastspot.com. It works well for them because you don’t always need the video, but at the same time, it’s more than a talking head so the video IS valuable.

As always, it depends on the podcast. I think there’s room for both audio and video though!
