Why Do Podcasters Post Their Audio On YouTube?

[Formulatech]

Yes, if you don't have any other video that you want to put on it, the recommended method is to put your logo, etc. as the video track.

I am going to be starting posting next month I will be looking into putting them up on youtube

YouTube has allowed unlimited time for about a year now. I post our 1+ hour shows there every week.

Well, if they claim that then there is something wrong. I uploaded yesterday's show, and right after it was done, I gor this:
"This video has been removed because it is too long.
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.

I know that as I created my accounts, I would be notified within a few minutes that my account was now allowed to upload videos of unlimited length. The file size limit is 20GB (if memory serves me correctly).

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.

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?

Like Mike say's, audio only uploads work! More than 22,000 views for this one...Come to think of it, I should start posting more audio interviews

[Jadori]

I think you should. I will start doing it as well.
