Podcasting Lessons Learned
This will be my final blog post for my content creation project and I thought it would be a good place to document the lessons that I have learned throughout the process of creating a new podcast. Before we dive in, you can learn more in-depth about the process of creating episode one of Convergence […]
Too much of a good thing
Last week I worked on the outline for Episode Two which I have given the working title A Decade of Death in the City of Angels. What seemed like a no-brainer of a podcast topic for a true-crime junkie like myself has turned into an experience that feels vaguely like mixing too many sweets and […]
