PODCASTING COURSE
“How do I produce and host my podcast without going crazy while running a film festival? What quality gear do I use that‘s cost effective? What really good software do I use that costs almost nothing and is not a subscription? I researched podcasting for a year so you don’t have to. I have no affiliates to sell products to you. I’ve been hosting my podcast for six years and I’m always researching to improve it. I’ll share my podcasting secrets with you!”
