John (Podcasting) about the many reasons why you should not upload an unedited livestream into your podcast RSS feed.1.    Time-Shifting Core Value: Podcasts were designed for on-demand listening, allowing audiences to consume content at their convenience. Live-streaming undermines this fundamental benefit by requiring real-time attendance.2.    Limited Live Audience: Most podcasts attract minimal live viewership, often fewer than five viewers, making the effort and resources spent on live-streaming unjustifiable.3.    Split Focus and Quality: Hosts must divide their attention between presenting content and managing live interactions, leading to a decline in production quality and listener engagement.4.    Editing Avoidance: Many live podcasters forego the crucial editing process, resulting in lower-quality content that lacks the polish and coherence of edited episodes.5.    Technical Difficulties: Live-streaming introduces technical risks such as connectivity issues, audio/video glitches, and other unforesee
