QUOTES
- “A podcast is not just you picking up your phone and recording something on Zoom and taking that raw crappy file from Zoom and just uploading it to the internet. That is not a podcast. A podcast is an audio file by definition, an audio file that's uploaded to the internet to be consumed auditorily.”
- “There's a lot of things we can figure out on our own, but there's also a lot of things that we can get off our plate and make just that much easier. So number one reason you don't want to start a podcast on your own, is it's a complete time suck.”
- “And that's the problem. If you're not putting something that's of quality out to the world, why even do it in the first place?”
