2 w. ago Your favourite podcast is now a video – but are vodcasts the future, or just ‘crap telly’?

Successful podcasters are filming their shows, putting traditional platforms under pressure. Does it add value or reflect YouTube’s increasing might?It is four in the afternoon at Pellicci’s, a family-run cafe on Bethnal Green Road in London that has been an East End institution for 125 years. Its famously loudmouthed owners, British-Italian siblings Nevio and Anna, have been serving fry-ups, soups, pasta and jam roly-polies since eight this morning. The cafe is now closed, but Anna and Nevio are just getting started on their second job as hosts of the podcast series Down the Caff, in which they interview people about food and life over a meal of the guest’s choosing.

By then, the comedian had been uploading videos for years. A clip from 2019 titled Live Footage of Me in the Closet sees Skinner comb his fringe forward, don an Abercrombie tee and travel back to the late 00s to resurrect his teenage self, a boy denying his love for Gossip Girl while repeatedly insisting he’s “not gay” until the screen erupts into a manic collage of Lady Gaga dance routines, Google results for “daniel radcliffe equus naked” and the iTunes page for Glee: The Music, Volume 1.Six years on, Skinner is reprising the role.
