Insights Of Podcast
Here is a confusion I have heard most podcasters are trying to wrap their head around.
"Should I put the video on my podcast on youtube?" or "Should I stick to an audio-only podcast?"
Now, let's be honest! There is nobody who can give you a prescription that works like a "success cookie-cutter" for your show.
There are podcasters who do youtube.
There are podcasters who don't do youtube.
Difference?
Youtube works for some. (๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ด - ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ท๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฐ ๐จ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ ๐ข๐ถ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ด)

But, will it work for you?
Maybe. Maybe not.
So what should I do, Manali?
*๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ* on these lines.
1. Time you have.
2. Resources you can avail.
3. Budget.

Popular Audio file formats for podcasting :
WAV (Waveform Audio File) : this format is loved by all those wanting to work on audio. Due to features like, a good dynamic range, retaining the highest quality of sound data. Zencastr (recommended for remote guest podcast recording)uses a 16-bit, 48ooo sample rate for recording the audio in this file format
AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) They are the next best after wav since they keep the highest quality of sound too however, they do not hold the time codes the way wav format does.
MP3 this is the most popular / common of all the audio files we hear as listeners. For every export, its quality reduces, hence, it is preferred at the final export stage when no more working on the audio is needed.
M4a, this one is used by zoom to record audio, this is a lossy format too
Opus, this is the format used by whatsapp audio for voice messages. It is also a lossy audio format just like the mp3.
