Best podcast hosting for video podcasts
"Video support" means different things on different hosts. Some store your video files and put them in your RSS feed, so Apple Podcasts and Spotify can show them. Others make a YouTube video from your audio and cover art, or push your episode to YouTube. Before you pay for video, check which of these you get.
