I just realised that what a lot of people think 'podcast' means is 'a youtube video of four dudes talking for an hour with light editing'

I'm Talen! I make videos and articles and games and graphic designs and guides and messes and encouragement. Chances are you can find anything I do on my blog. I like it when you comment on my things, so please do!

As someone who basically started with the giant bombcast circa 2008 and then sort of drifted away from listening to podcasts at all until the pandemic, this is absolutely what i thought podcasts were/are for a very long time.
And for me, as someone making podcasts, the metric I've always understood is 'if your podcast is just on youtube, it's not a podcast'
It feels like podcasts have been invented/pioneered at least 5 times since their actual inception, depending on who you listen to.
