It’s official, we have our Season 5 return date set! In this teaser episode we tell you about when we’ll be returning, how long you can expect our (as previously discussed) shorter season to run, and when you can catch our next live stream.
 
To tide you over until next week, we discuss recent StreamYard price increases and how we think it will affect hobby podcasters (hint: immensely) .

We’ll also take a few questions from our live-stream chat, plus Stephen shares an epiphany he had about podcasting whilst digitizing his physical media.

We hope you’ll join us when we return next week for Season 5 of Better Podcasting.
