November 27, 2023 Podcasting on YouTube: The Hows, Whys, and Huhs?!
Send a text message to the show!
I've been waiting over a year for this: you can now import an existing RSS feed as a podcast to YouTube! This means that YouTube is essentially available as a podcast directory and anyone with an existing audio-only podcast can take advantage of everything it has to offer.

But of course as the monkey paw curls, it's not perfect. There are definitely some issues and caveats to be aware of, especially if you want to incorporate a podcast into an existing channel, so let's cover it all from start to finish!

🎙This week's mic:
•Earthworks ETHOS

🎙This week's microphone:
Audio Technica AT897: https://bhpho.to/3P7YwSL (B&H)
Here's my full review on it: https://youtu.be/5o8g5CqHCMg

The AT897 was running through the Rodecaster Pro II using the Rode Broadcaster preset. This is not normally how this shotgun mic is supposed to be used, but it's fun to see how it works as a podcast mic!
