Independent creators are cautious as Netflix dives into video podcasts. While shows like “Professional Talkers” experiment with video-first formats, many podcasters report that their audiences prefer traditional audio. Experts warn that Netflix’s move mirrors Spotify’s past consolidation, but in a more calculated way. For now, the platform could shift cultural habits from daytime TV to background podcasts, but the impact on creators’ day-to-day work remains uncertain.
