If you DO make it a podcast, PLEASE keep the video portion too. Your mannerisms, facial expressions, and edits make it so fun. I’ll support whatever you do though! 🖤

Hey girl! I think Riayns room should still have the visual element of seeing you chatting in the room like to keep that friends chatting and vibing aspect of the style. I do think you’d be so good in a podcast on your own! But I do like seeing the videos when I listen and all the reactions from you.

[meganwilliams]

totally would be down for a podcast, would love to still have a video version on youtube, I think it would be fun to occasionally have guests and hear their advice on riayn's room questions too! you could even keep the same name.

[reneer]

I'm down for podcast, tho I DO love the video format cause I like seeing your facial reactions to the stories but I'm here for whatever you decide is best for you and the channel! :)

I love the current vibe Riayn’s room gives. It feels like I’m at a sleepover with my best friend and we’re just talking about life. The mood lightening and your commentary make it comforting to watch. I think a podcast would work if you keep the vibe the same. The visual aspects adds a lot to the listening experience. I love watching how your face responds to what you’re reading and seeing your body language. I’ll support whatever you do girl. I big fan and I love showing love to one of my favorite black creators. ❤

[lphorsley]

Maybe this is a naive response. But I don’t see why you can’t keep making Riayns Room videos but also record the audio and upload as a podcast. A little more work adding the mic but doubling the platform. Also appeals to the audio only vs video only viewer preference.

[HydratedAndrea]

I vote for podcast! The type that has a YouTube video & Spotify audio & Apple podcast audio. Specifically for THIS episode you’re talking about, I recommend having some sort of branded art/poster to just stay static while you blend in the video part you were able to keep.

[kariikosmos]

I also love little check ins like this from creators I follow. Kind of adds to the parasocial of it all

[rachelkibler]

Please make it a podcast!!! If you aren’t ready for the jump I totally understand but as someone who listens in the background anyway I would LOVE that

[grumblefluff]

Just do it, if you aren't feeling it after a few you can change it....I'll take all the Riayn content I can get tbh

[elledaspitzer]

HUGE podcasts girl over here! Would be a weekly watcher of any sort of podcast that you do! Still publish the audio only version of Riayn’s Room if you want :) will truly watch/listen anything that you put out!!!

[Amanduhhpanduh]

I personally like having the video format better because your reactions are so good.

[bea.sn]

Lol! I immediately wanted to go into “career coach” mode, but I stopped myself. So! I will say this: Don’t be afraid of creating the opportunities that you want, the ones that fill your passion and allow space for your creativity to come to life. Yes, there will be hurdles, but if it’s truly your heart’s desire and brings your spirit joy, the challenges will be worth it. ❤
We love and support you!

[madisonmackay]

Girl either way, it will be great! I love the video because your facial expressions as you read really add to the vibes, but also if you feel more comfortable in a podcast then I say go for it!! We will love and support you either way ❤

[Fizzylizzy]

We are here for whatever! Love Riayns Room❤ don't overthink what your doing girl. I would personally post it as audio only this time here and continue with the video style next time

[natgars]

I’m honestly not sure what’s the difference, since I “listen/see” all my podcasts in Youtube.
My 2cents are, just do whatever works for you!

[RuteCarrapato]

If you wanna make it a podcast just do it! Regarding the video version, you can make it with only audio or with some kind of animation/video of you doing mild tasks (cleaning, working, relax, ...) could be fun :)

[ashleystanley]

I'll be here to watch/listen no matter how you upload the next episode of Riayn's Room! (I definitely agree with others that I love the visual aspect of just hanging out together. I would definitely continue watching/listening no matter what you do, though. As long as it's on YT - I'm here for it!)

[SpencerKarins]

I would love a podcast from you!! I love your vlogs too but I prefer podcasts for longer form so I can listen while driving around, working, etc more easily

[nishabeeda]

I'm cool with whichever being that I was a Twenty Whatever listener and also enjoy your vlogs but if I had to choose, I'd say don't scrap the audio footage, use that as a little podcast treat (and maybe a way to just see how audio style goes for future use) but I prefer videos just because I (personally) already listen to a handful of podcasts and I like the change up sometimes of getting to see my favorite content creators! Love you either way though girl!! 💕
