Send a text message to the show!This week's show is a less structured exploration of thoughts and issues, a lot of which center around what seems to be an emerging trend of Creator Ennui, which is very interesting to me as someone who recently broke through a few months of being in a creative funk. That paragraph sounds very fancy, I wrote it real good. Thank you to Steve & Tommy from Smarthome Riggs for sending over this custom PodMic pop filter! I love it.

Send a text message to the show!Last week we dove into the world of retro cameras, so this week let's talk about the new stuff! I have a lot of thoughts about where Canon and Sony are headed, and now that I've used both for a while I have some genuine issues/concerns with Canon's approach. The show also starts with a quick mic comparison! I'm using a "mystery mic" today, but I'm curious to see how you think it sounds and how it compares to other popular mics. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!Last week I stumbled across a Reddit post that shed some light on a side of YouTube & content creation that's less than wholesome" people being paid to leverage their influence without disclosing the fact that they're being paid. It was a long post, so I want to break it down and dive in to see what this means for creators and viewers alike. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?
