Neil Mody, CEO of Headliner, discusses how his company has become a dominant force in podcast video creation, generating over 10,000 videos daily. He reveals how Headliner has evolved from a simple social media clip creator to a comprehensive suite of tools that help podcasters grow their audience across multiple platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, and Spotify.

The conversation delves into the fascinating debate about video versus audio podcasting. Mody shares insights about how interview-format podcasts are increasingly finding success through video content, citing Joe Rogan's interesting case where he had more YouTube subscribers than Spotify followers even during his Spotify exclusivity period. He emphasizes that while video is crucial for attracting new audiences, audio remains important for retention.

Mody presents a compelling perspective on podcasting's current state, noting that only 500 million out of 5 billion internet users listen to podcasts. He argues that podcasters must embrace platforms like YouTube and social media to reach new audiences, as avoiding these platforms means missing out on half of the internet's potential reach. The discussion concludes with his vision for Headliner's future, including plans to reach 10 million listeners on their platform and continued innovation in AI-powered content creation tools.
