Introduction: From Audio to Video

In the early days, podcasts were all about audio. Fast forward to 2025, and Toronto creators know: if you’re not filming your podcast, you’re missing half the audience.

Video podcasts are booming across the GTA because they don’t just live on Spotify — they live on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn. For Toronto creators and businesses, this means more reach, more engagement, and more opportunities.

Why Video Podcasts Dominate in 2025

• YouTube Is the New Search Engine → Many Toronto listeners watch podcasts instead of listening.
• Social Clips Drive Discovery → 30-second highlights go viral on TikTok and Instagram.
• Sponsors Want Visibility → Brands prefer podcasts with video because logos and products can be featured naturally.
• Local Community Engagement → Toronto audiences love seeing familiar neighborhoods, accents, and faces.

💡 Stat insight: Over 60% of Canadian podcast listeners say they prefer shows that include video.
