Very cool Pat! Going to get my Pod started this week on my channel. Super excited. What part of SD are you in? I was born and raised in LaMesa. Miss that place everyday. Thanks for all you do. Oh…and if you don’t mind…do you know where I can order that little box with our brand logo for my Rode desk boom mount? Thanks dude!
Nice! I’m in North County closer to Escondido. For the “mic flag”, check out a brand called ImpactPBS!
@@patflynn Awesome! I moved to Idaho with the rest of CA. haha. I was in Carlsbad teaching in Encinitas. I love how we can connect here on YT. In year 2 on my channel and it’s growing and growing. Got some brand deals in the works and the Podcast is going to be fun. My parents lived in Escondido for a long time. Thanks for the tip on Impact PBS. Keep going and hope to meet you one day soon. 🙂
I live in Carlsbad! 🙌🏽 My wife and I literally talked last week about visiting Idaho. Haha!
I had a podcast years ago with one of my best friends and we’re thinking of starting it back up. Just wanted to jump in because I saw North County SD! Haha! Good luck everyone with your ventures!! 💪🏽
@@Javier_Pichardo Nice, yeah I was in Bressi Ranch. SW Idaho now and the prices here have skyrockted. I got a dream house here, so I got in before the boom. They are building IN and Outs all over Idaho now. haha. Keep grinding everyone.
🍻
Just in time! I’m ready to get off the fence about starting a podcast. Thanks!
You got this! Thanks Margaret, and best of luck! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you. I started but I’m not consistent. Your tips have helped me so much.
I am excited AND so nervous to start my first podcast!! I discovered your podcast tutorials two weeks ago and I have been watching as many as I can before I go deep dive and buy my first bit of podcasting equipment. I just wanted to comment and say, “THANK YOU” for sharing your knowledge and taking time to go step by step. I downloaded and printed out the “Podcast Cheat Sheet” this past weekend. This is definitely something that can easily become overwhelming to start something new. I hope to be able to share my podcast successes once I can get it up and running!! Thanks Pat! And a fun fact, my mom is from SD, CA and I was born in Chula Vista. Wanted to share a fun commonality!
You came in clutch Pat. I just started my podcast yesterday. Im glad you shared this video.
Question. Does it matter where I publish my podcast episodes from? I started using the Substack podcast feature and connected the RSS feed to Spotify and Apple podcasts
