I Added Video to My B2B Podcast Using Apple Podcasts’ HLS — Here’s What Actually Happened
About this episode
Neal Veglio shares his experience of adding video to his B2B podcast using Apple Podcasts' HLS, detailing the listener experience, hosting challenges, and data insights.

Then I had to go and actually do it — because the theoretical version of podcasting-about-podcasting is slightly embarrassing, and I hold myself to a better standard than the people spouting expertise about things they’ve never tried. So I enabled video for B2B Podcasting Insights, my other show, in Captivate. A real show, in a crowded market, with real numbers. This episode is the field report. In this one: What HLS video actually is — and why it isn’t the old MP4-in-the-RSS-enclosure trick that nobody could see What the listener experience really looks like (spoiler: “clean” is a Michelin star in podcast infrastructure) The hosting catch — it lives or dies on who you host with Three workflow changes nobody warns you about, including the upload time and editing for two audiences at once What two weeks of data actually showed — told straight, no fake growth-hack victory lap The honest verdict: who should switch it on now, and who should wait LINKS Got something about your show bugging you at half eleven at night?
