Podcasts are built on open standards - podcasters publish once and listeners can choose to listen in any app.

The <podcast:alternateEnclosure> is a new RSS tag that lets podcasters publish a video version alongside the regular audio version - allowing any supporting app to give listeners the ability to seamlessly switch to video.
