Why are vids easier than pods?

It was a little thing but it bugged me - the time was wrong on all my posts. I think I have fixed it. We'll see.

Now to the main topic. To me, it feels like viewing and mashing video are much, much easier than podcasts. I don't know why this should be, and history suggests that audio is simpler than audiovisual, but that's not how it felt. E.g. I had no trouble embedding a video two posts back. Therefore, I'd choose video over podcasting, even if I had to fake the visuals. Also, I think we have greater tolerance for amateurish image than sound. I found the voices doing book reviews unctuous and studied rather than fresh and sincere. I also really disliked not knowing the length of the podcast! If that information was there, I didn't see it. And it wasn't always clear to me what I needed to do to. For example Boulder teens seem to think I want to subscribe before I've even tried them out. Is it my age that I just don't get podcasting?
