Posting Preferences for Patron Shows
Added 2025-03-04 14:59:24 +0000 UTCCan you help me get some information on how you consume the patron content?
Patreon doesn't make it streamlined for us to post content that is both podcast and video. We often need to post a video version of a show and then a seperate post of the show so that it gets out to you as a podcast.
Can you help guide us on how to post that is better for you...
THANK YOU SO MUCH
-Rob

I tend to listen to audio podcasts over video but I do like to watch Know it Alls & Exit Interviews on youTube if I have the time. One issue I have is finding the video version on my youTube page. The Patron only videos do not appear on my youtube page automatically. I have to go to the Patreon page first which is not possible from my TV youTube app.

2025-03-06 03:25:42 +0000 UTCSpecifically to Latron content, I usually just listen. But I watch KIA, Traitors coverage, etc. on YT.

2025-03-06 03:03:15 +0000 UTCI listen to a lot of podcasts, when there is video, like patron feedback I like video, but usually click the link to open it in YouTube.

2025-03-05 12:31:33 +0000 UTCThe only YT pod I watch is w/the eliminated Survivor so I can see what they look like now. The rest of my RHAP existence is all via audio.

2025-03-05 02:11:14 +0000 UTCI prefer to watch everything on YouTube. I often forget to listen to the Audio only podcasts. It would be nice if they were on YouTube as audio only with a private link in the Patron FB group. I rarely launch Patreon to watch or listen. If it's audio only I typically use the old RHAP App but I typically forget to do that and I'm weeks behind on the Patron 5 for 5.

2025-03-05 00:14:18 +0000 UTCI always watch through the YouTube link so I can watch on my TV, and also can easily put it into a playlist so I can stack them to watch one after another.

2025-03-04 22:49:31 +0000 UTCI always watch video on YouTube instead of patreon if I can

2025-03-04 21:48:32 +0000 UTCI prefer to watch on YouTube so I get a bigger picture than watching on my laptop. Sometimes I can do that easily and a few times I have tried and can only watch on my laptop.
Heidi Kappa
2025-03-04 21:43:07 +0000 UTCI listen to RHAP almost exclusively through YouTube.
Samantha Proud
2025-03-04 21:41:01 +0000 UTCI usually only watch podcast videos. For example I unfortunately forget about The Weekend Program all the time because it’s not on YouTube
Katie Sheely
2025-03-04 20:27:42 +0000 UTCI only listen to audio. I have never seen even 1 video. I follow at least 7 podcasts and listen while commuting, cooking and cleaning.
Barbara Walker
2025-03-04 20:07:48 +0000 UTCI personally pay for Youtube premium and wish that all of the podcasts would go up there whether there is video or not. I like to throw it on the TV while I am working or lying down
Phillip Marshall
2025-03-04 19:49:58 +0000 UTCI usually only watch the video
annastasia greene
2025-03-04 19:42:52 +0000 UTCI almost never watch on YouTube, when I do it is extremely frustrating with all the adds constantly, I tried watching the RANAAP I felt like I was constantly having g to skip all the adds, so many more than on the podcasts.
Amber Nielsen
2025-03-04 19:22:02 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you asked because I'm so much more likely to watch if you are able to connect it to a YouTube link so I can watch it on my TV.
Amy Bonner
2025-03-04 18:53:43 +0000 UTCWe can turn ads off on the video
Rob Cesternino
2025-03-04 18:35:47 +0000 UTCI have YouTube Premium and keep my playlists there. I do some patron content audio and the rest I prefer a YT link. I almost never watch videos in Patreon because my YT queue is full and I forget videos are here
D
2025-03-04 18:30:22 +0000 UTCI prefer YouTube links. The viewing experience on YouTube is just better because if I have to pause and come back to it later, it saves my place. Patreon doesn't do that.
Hector Acevedo
2025-03-04 18:02:12 +0000 UTCI always go to YouTube, big part of the fun is seeing everyone react with each other, seeing Rob laugh is worth the price of admission. I listen to podcasts next to never.
Larry Fuchsberg
2025-03-04 17:18:24 +0000 UTCI like the video versions on youtube and patreon. I do listen to the ones that don't have video though.
Jody Davis
2025-03-04 17:18:14 +0000 UTCI am a podcast only girlie. So I appreciate if you prioritize links and posts to podcasts. Only time I watch video have been some of the games (Watchtower for example).
Elizabeth
2025-03-04 16:59:32 +0000 UTCThis is a me problem, but it drives me a little crazy when I can't find the YouTube link easily because I like to add videos to my watch later playlist (I am always behind). If you do separate posts for audio and video, that's totally fine as I know some people prefer to watch in the patreon app. I would just appreciate if the YouTube link is still easily accessible in one or both posts.

2025-03-04 16:33:46 +0000 UTCsame here
Kim D
2025-03-04 16:28:24 +0000 UTCI do both - it depends on the podcast. Some podcasts that have pictures or videos, I will try and watch the YouTube version but I also like to listen when I'm driving and tend to audio only. YouTube does have some oddly placed ads - right in the middle of a conversation. Thanks for all the content!
Pam Kasinetz
2025-03-04 16:19:40 +0000 UTCSame here. I do not have time to watch. I will watch if there’s a whole Lotta references to interesting photos.
Dorothy Kurz
2025-03-04 16:14:06 +0000 UTCI’m 100% audio only on all pods so I just listen through a separate feed on Overcast. I’ve never listened to or watched a podcast in the Patreon app so I’m not going to vote.
Kristan Marie
2025-03-04 15:55:54 +0000 UTCIk in minority but YouTube has too many ads i like watching the videos here if I can
Eric Meyer
2025-03-04 15:48:35 +0000 UTCAs video because more and more common, you do start to feel like you miss out on the audio on my version, for example cast photos and showing tik Tok videos. I would say RHAP is better than a lot of places that don't bother to describe things for audio listeners. But when I can't watch I do feel like I am missing out. One thing also is that I like to watch YouTube on my Roku but there doesn't seem to be a way to find patron only videos there so I have to start it on my phone and hope YouTube keeps the video in my recently played on the app.
Leah Weber
2025-03-04 15:43:26 +0000 UTCFor what it’s worth, the YouTube video works the same as a podcast even on my phone. It still plays outside the app, and I can hide the video if I need to use my phone.
Max Zambrano
2025-03-04 15:41:08 +0000 UTCThis is exactly how I feel, I never watch the videos.
Heather MacKay
2025-03-04 15:38:57 +0000 UTCVideos on the patreon app tend to glitch for me much more often than YouTube. I’m more likely to watch the visual version of a podcast if there’s a YouTube link personally!
Emily Little
2025-03-04 15:38:35 +0000 UTCI never watch patron stuff as videos, but if I did a YouTube link would be fine.
Laura Cherry
2025-03-04 15:37:38 +0000 UTCWhatever makes it easier for your team. You all work so hard and I don't want to give you extra work if it is unnecessary.
Maryam McCallum
2025-03-04 15:28:18 +0000 UTCI never watch the videos. With audio I can listen while doing something, like driving, housework, or getting ready. Who’s got the time to watch videos?!
Lisa MacDonald
2025-03-04 15:26:51 +0000 UTCI'm fine with whatever, but the upside of videos on Patreon is that they don't have ads like on YouTube.
Tara Renee
2025-03-04 15:23:42 +0000 UTCI typically like to watch the video when possible, but usually do that on Youtube, so doesn't matter much to me either way. Whatever is easier for y'all! :)
Michael Horn
2025-03-04 15:17:17 +0000 UTCI consume most of my content on youtube on my TV but the video portion of Patreon works just fine. In recent months the way youtube sorts things is weird. I've been getting a lot of suggestions for podcasts from 4 years ago when I first type Rob Has a Podcast
Allie Slinger
2025-03-04 15:13:38 +0000 UTCI do 99% audio only, so I just use the subscriber feeds.
AmyCook
2025-03-04 15:09:07 +0000 UTCI hate how YouTube sorts the ep. In the podcast audio side but the videos are fine for me. I have premium
Liss Timm
2025-03-04 15:08:43 +0000 UTCHow is watching a video we post to patreon?
Rob Cesternino
2025-03-04 15:05:55 +0000 UTCI’d rather watch a video but unfortunately, YouTube is not as smooth and seamless as podcast technology apparently. And most of my listening is when I’m on the go. And if I happen to touch the screen or jiggle my phone in my handbag, it can stop the YouTube video or send it back to the beginning or disappear it completely so I end up just listening to an audio podcast For convenience sake but whatever you decide, I love RHAP and I am thrilled with every bit of content I can find there
Tulip
2025-03-04 15:04:53 +0000 UTCI have never watched a single video version of any podcast i'm subscribed to. Not since the OG Know it Alls when there were very few other podcasts I subscribed to. Audio Only.
Brendan
2025-03-04 15:04:52 +0000 UTCI voted for the separate audio & video because not all pods have both. And I wouldn't think to read the description to find out if there is a video option & there are some pods I prefer to watch on video. So unless it's super obvious (like it's mentioned in the first few words of the description or in the first minute of the pod), I worry I wouldn't know there's a video.
