Is there supposed to be non-static video with this? I just see two still images over the course of the ~hour and forty minutes.

The conversation goes along as if there's periodic pictures to be seen of what's being discussed.

Yeah, just feeling grumpy about this not being a podcast like it used to be :)

I wasn't there for the recording, but I suspect it was only audio.

In what sense is it not? If you mean about the medium here, you can still get it that way! https://oxide.computer/podcasts/oxide-and-friends has the various links to different ways of getting it in pure podcast form.

Sorry to say when I watched this the first time I didn't see those "pictures" either. I thought it was my browser but restarting and playing on another device confirmed there were no images. Thought I must have missed something.

They did throw photos in for their "weird boards" one, which was awesome (and really benefitted from it). Otherwise - it's a podcast, I suspect Youtube is just the easiest version to link to.

That episode was a bunch of work—glad to hear that it was beneficial! And, yes, YouTube is just convenient for posting recordings. We added the podcast in early 2022. There’s usually a delay between YouTube and the podcast in the hope that we get some show notes submissions (and to shake out the occasional audio screw up).

I had no idea my podcast client (overcast) could do chapter artwork. Chapters are still somewhat cutting-edge, let alone per-chapter metadata. That episode felt like you went nought to sixty real sharpish. Credit is well deserved.
