    Making stellar videos & starting your podcast

    This show is about much more than podcasts though. George Boyd is the founder and editor behind Cut the Pod — his agency that helps podcasters create great videos for their full shows or short-form content. So this is a peek behind the curtain of video podcasting, as I’ve struggled to learn the process from hosting and recording to editing and growing Ship it and Sip it. It was a real treat to have George on the show and bring his experience to light for you all. Here’s what we got into: 🎥 How he got into editing in LA and ended up working on video content for Disney, Anthony Bourdain and other top video teams 🎙️ Why podcasting is different from simply publishing video content on YouTube and why it’s worth doing even now. 🎬 What amateur or hobbyist editors get wrong and how they can make their best show without a decade of video experience. 🤝 How George feels about getting out in front of the camera again and his plan for launching his own show early next year. With the range of low-cost tools and platforms that make recording, editing and publishing high-quality video easier than ever before, what’s stopping you from launching your show? Check out this convo and head down the road to pressing publish today 🫶🏻 Follow along with George’s journey as an editor and soon-to-be host on X. This is a public episode.
