Created a guide over the weekend on hosting a podcast with PeerTube. Going with Spotify/YouTube is tempting for many, but they may not have realized how easy/affordable PeerTube has become for hosting and maintaining complete control of a feed.

Why not use https://castopod.org/ ? It is also federated via ActivityPub and specifically made for Podcasts.
Because if you’re already running (or want to run) a PeerTube instance you can save yourself from having to setup and maintain another thing.
It doesn’t support video
Since when do podcasts have video?
Since shortly after their inception. ~2003
That’s not a podcast then 🙄
I mean they had video iPod shortly after the release of the original iPod so I think a video podcast still fits the definition of “iPod broadcast”
Four years later and with a really crappy small screen that I doubt anyone used for actually watching videos. Apparently battery life was atrocious too when doing so.
How is it not?
It doesn’t fit the definition of a podcast then.
Sure, some podcasters also upload their podcasts on video sites, but if the video is a vital part of it and you can’t just listen to it, then it doesn’t qualify as a podcast.
Again I ask, how does it not?
You can.
If you need to pay attention to what is on the screen, it is you know, a video and not a podcast. But I feel we are not getting anywhere here and you are just being contrarian for some silly reason 🤷
