    VOICE NOTE: Responding to Bamby Media's 2024 Wrap-Up...

    I saw Brianna Ansaldo wrap up her Bamby Media's insights in a Pros and Cons list here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eamSagYs63g&ab_channel=BambyMedia. I think she's aspirational as a business owner, a podcast producer and generally as a person. So I wanted to share some common thoughts that I had from the video. Coz why shouldn't an audio episode respond to a video?! 😊 Check out https://www.bambymedia.com/ for her consulting services or production services, which you should absolutely explore!

  5. Why Brain.FM helps me Edit Podcasts Faster!

    Why Brain.FM helps me Edit Podcasts Faster!

    The cafe was closed last week! What was that about?! Anyway, I'll share my thoughts from last week today. I wanted to take some time to justify and explain the affiliate that I tack onto the top and bottom of each episode: Brain.FM. Its a music player with unique effects involving "entrainment" that utilises theta, beta, alpha waves to improve focus on a task while you listen or relax while you meditate. For podcasting, I use it to distract myself from contantly seeking perfect audio from my edits (I needlessly endless task) AND to keep myself focused to perform my edits faster.
