We're going over everything we have used to create our podcasts and deciding what to keep or not.

In Episode #439 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: the couple of essential pieces you will need to produce an audio podcast, the extra thrills that are helpful for video production, why it is useful to play around with new tools periodically, staying lean/mean vs really high production value & our decisions to stop using some and start using others. 

Huge thanks to Sir TJ The Wrathful, Jen In Indy & McIntosh for the boostagrams. Your support means the world to us!
