Being a beginner is scary and learning new things is hard. But with the limited time we have on this planet, I think it's incredibly important to explore our curiosities and give ourselves permission to learn and explore new things. So before we dive into more concrete topics with future episodes, let's take some time to talk about how to learn and all the different ways you can indulge your interests!

🎙This week's microphone:
Lewitt LCT 440 Pure

The Lewitt was running through the Rodecaster Pro II on the Rode NT-1 preset.

It's the first episode of Season 9! My goal this season is for each episode to have a clear purpose and tangible takeaway (and of course hopefully be enjoyable and at least mildly entertaining). So with that in mind, it's time to revisit my Creator Ethics Statement!

It's the end of another season! To wrap things up, I wanted to take some time and share a few updates on some of the topics we've covered over the past few months, including microphones, YouTube, camera bag dilemmas, and creating a new course.

I made it almost 3 years, but the beast finally caught me a few weeks ago. Fortunately I'm feeling better now, but it was definitely a rough time.  On the days when I wasn't desperately trying to escape my own body, I gained an entirely new appreciation for YouTube.

After binging a ton of videos from channels outside of my niche, I came to a few important realizations and even put together an entire template for how I want to try structuring my videos, and now that I've been back to work, it's turned out to be a ton of fun!

There’s no denying the rise in popularity of video podcasting, and as a lifelong audio/video production enthusiast I feel almost obligated to be excited about that…but I’m not. 

While I definitely enjoy and appreciate video podcasts, I do think there’s a sense for many podcasters that it’s a requirement if you want anyone to enjoy your show, which can be hugely limiting. Adding video to an audio workflow is a huge undertaking that can easily become a barrier to entry. 

So this week I’d like to explain why I personally prefer not to create video podcasts, just to provide a counter perspective for anyone who needs it.

Let's have a linear discussion about non-linear editing sofware! As someone who started video editing with VCR's, all of the modern options are pretty incredible. But if you're looking to dive into the world of video editing, it cna also be overwhelkming, so I wanted to take a bit of a deep dive into the three most popular options for independent creators and small teams: Final Cut Pro, Davinci Resolve, and Adobe Premiere.

The world of online platforms is very...interesting right now. In many ways it feels like a bubble is bursting, but maybe that's not a bad thing? My awesome wife Heather is here to talk about what that shift might mean for creators and how it could be a chance to be empowered in creating on your own terms.

I recently started the production of a new course all about editing with Final Cut Pro, but don't worry, this isn't a shameless plug for that– it's about everything that went wrong during my first two days of production and the...tough lessons learned along the way.

That discussion is the opening act for the headliner of today's show: camera bags! I've spent so many years searching for the perfect camera bag. I don't think one exists, but I'll share with you what I think the "perfect bag" would be and I'm also very interested to hear your thoughts/recommendations.
