My 5 Videos from the Podcasters’ 5 Week Video Challenge (2019 Nov.)

This was a fun challenge.

Over the past 6 months I have been MEANING to create some videos to promote my podcast, but I never got started. So I concocted this fun challenge to kick myself in the butt, and around 15 others jumped on board as well.

Below are my 5 videos. They are all very short. They may not be great, but the point of the challenge was just to get 5 videos done and improve a whole lot along the way. Enjoy!

The purpose of good audio production: To provide the listener with a pleasant, transparent listening experience, in terms of audio quality and audio presentation. NOTE: In this video we are talking ONLY about audio quality; the actual content of a podcast episode is a completely different topic.
