​Practical insights and real-world workflows to help you navigate adding video to your audio-first podcast.

​Conversations led by Elsie Escobar, Creator Success & Community Manager.

​The Reality Check

​You are an audio podcaster. You care about the voice, the intimacy of the microphone, and recording in a space where you feel comfortable. Whether you are still deciding if video is right for your show, or you have already started and feel overwhelmed by the change, you are looking for clarity. This session helps you define your path and improve your current process while keeping your identity and your path!

​The Audio-to-Video Roadmap is a Captivate Growth Labs series where we talk shop with creators who successfully added video to their audio shows. They share what they learned and how they work.

​What we cover

​We discuss technical specifics and real-world implementation:

• ​Workflows: Real processes for recording, editing and building support.

• ​Tech: Hardware and software that works for podcasters who prioritize sound. We focus on tools that are functional and get the job done.

• ​Time: An honest look at the time investment and mindset. We show what it takes to add video while keeping your production consistent and your setup manageable.
