The intercorporate struggle for dominance in video podcasting wages on. Now that the cameras are rolling on creators, will and emerge as the video podcast platform of choice? And where does that leave audio-first shows?

“While the bubble is still in the burgeoning stages of inflation,” writes , “creatives and listeners alike owe it to themselves to be circumspect about whether this change to the medium reflects a fundamental shift in the art form, or whether it’s just another ill-conceived pivot to video, in which titans of industry duke it out for the crown while creators try to avoid the fallout.”

In independent podcasting, the question of time is often overshadowed by questions about money: how to spend it, and especially, how to get more of it. But time is the indie creator’s most important currency. Everything you do is buying you more runway to keep going.

First stop: the Newmark J-School panel “How to Run an Indie Podcast” where , , and shared the secrets of their success. Then on to “Bullseye with Jesse Thorn”’s 25th Anniversary Spectacular taping at the PIT. It made for a perfect DIY doubleheader.

We’ve gotten used to podcasts invading the small screen, from “Nobody Wants This” (returning to Netflix this month) to “Homecoming,” “WeCrashed” and others. But what about podcast-based movies? The pickings are comparatively slim. Which is why, as writes in his latest for Good Tape, you must go back to 2014’s “Tusk,” a body horror-comedy from Kevin Smith featuring Justin Long in a gruesome walrus suit.
