I have noticed the trend of audio podcasters posting their shows on YouTube. Since YouTube is a visual format I thought that it is interesting that I see more and more of that on there. Why do you think that people are doing that?

It's all about reaching more listeners. There are lots of audio-only uploads on YouTube. It has the most traffic of any entertainment site. The question in my mind is, why would you NOT post your audio on YouTube?
Hey, never thought about posting the audio there. They would not let me post the 5 Hours show, but the audio is a pretty small file.Quote:

I know many Podcasts post their interviews on Youtube and surprisingly they get a lot of views. I have spent many hours listening to radio interviews on Youtube.
Could you just use the podcast Album artwork as the video so its not just black also the video could be use to put up text about links show notes etc
As long as you don't have any copyright infringements on your account or other restrictions, it's now unlimited as far as the time is concerned. I have 3 YouTube accounts that have unlimited on them.Quote:

Sorry about that."
I'm not sure why they won't allow you to upload longer than 15 minutes. If you visit http://www.youtube.com/southgeekme, you'll see that my videos are well over 10 or 15 minutes.Quote:

This may shed some light on the issue. It's from their FAQ page about video length:
Why am I unable to have the upload limit increased on my account?
We are only removing the limit on video length for users who have verified their account is active and in their control via SMS, as well as for users whose accounts are in good standing, meaning they have no copyright or community guidelines violations. Content ID global blocks on even one video will lead to removal of this privilege.

Yup I can Confirm that you need to give them a phone number in order to get the higher limit
I was thinking about doing some episodes on YouTube but I was concerned about the length issue so thanks everyone for clearing up my questions.
