Where Audio, Video, and AI Flow Together Recorded live on stage at Podfest Expo in Orlando,  Rob Greenlee is joined by three of the smartest voices shaping where podcasting is headed right now: James Cridland (Podnews), Rox Codes (Flightcast), and Philip Nelson (Nelco Media).

This episode tackles the collision of audio RSS, platform-native video, and AI-powered creator workflows and why the podcast conversation in 2026 is less about labels and more about content that works everywhere.

What we cover:
-Audio podcasting vs video podcasting and what audiences actually want
-Why content first matters more than format wars
-The roots of video in early podcasting and why it feels full circle again
-Fragmented audiences across YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Shorts
-Practical creator strategy packaging, titles, thumbnails, retention, and workflow systems that scale
