Better Podcasting – Episode 064 – From Hobbyist to Professional

Stargate Pioneer and Stephen are pleased to have special guest Bandrew Scott (from his Podcastage YouTube Channel and The Bandrew Says Podcast) to get his insight on podcasting while learning about his history taking his hobby to a professional (or if you’d prefer “hobbyist plus”) level. Topics include the difference between commercial/professional and hobby podcasting, how he manages his schedule and some of his favorite experiences with his over 100 microphone tests and reviews (not to mention his 200+ videos).

During this week’s Better Podcasting Download the three discuss the question of building a two-person podcast setup on a $300 budget.
