Topics discussed: YouTube announcing shorts will be able to exceed 60 seconds and be up to 3 minutes long starting on 15 OCTOBER 2024. I talk about why I think they're doing this, who I think will benefit from this, if I will start using shorts more, and how youtube kind of just confuses me now. I also revisit the Shotgun Mic vs. Small Diaphragm condenser microphone discussion with a sample in a completely untreated room.
