492. Apple Podcasts HLS Video: What Creators Need to Know
Apple Podcasts HLS video, creator workflows, and what this actually changes might have less to do with new tech and more to do with how your podcast is built behind the scenes. The PMC cast and crew talk through Apple pulling audio directly from video files and what that means for creators producing separate audio and video versions, including the impact on editing, time, and costs, while also digging into video-first vs audio-first approaches, how things play out differently across Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, and whether it’s better to jump in early or wait, with one question lingering at the end: are you building your show around your workflow or around how your audience actually listens or watches?
