The nexus of automation and AI promises to revolutionize how business gets done. But there is no effective AI strategy without a well-executed data strategy. Organizations cannot bypass analytics when implementing GenAI applications, and the role of the human in the loop is particularly distinct when it comes to AI agents. This shift requires not just changes in technology but also in user mindset and data governance. Check out this episode of DM Radio to hear Host @eric_kavanagh interview Michael Kravec of Blue Yeti, who will share his perspectives on how to increase your chances of success in the AI Era.

“If someone came to me and asked for advice on a podcast room, I'd say carpet, no tiles, no windows, make it nice and cozy and tight to stop that sound reverberating around.”This episode really showcases how you don't need a perfect studio setup to create professional-quality podcasts. When I started in 2019 with just a Blue Yeti mic and an old MacBook Pro, I never imagined I'd be helping produce over 700 episodes and reaching millions of downloads. What I've learned is that it's not about having expensive gear or a perfect room - it's about understanding the fundamentals of sound capture and using the right tools strategically.The biggest revelation for many podcasters is that you can create amazing content anywhere if you focus on the basics: using dynamic microphones, proper positioning, wearing headphones, and leveraging modern AI tools like Descript's Studio Sound. It's incredible how these simple techniques can transform a less-than-ideal space like an echoing meeting room into a professional recording environment.Niall MackayKey Takeaways:Started his podcasting journey with basic equipment (Blue Yeti mic and 2010 MacBook Pro)Proper microphone positioning (about a fist away) is crucial for sound qualityDynamic microphones are superior to condenser mics for non-studio environmentsDescript's Studio Sound feature revolutionized his podcast production processOffering worldwide support for podcast setup and post-productionChapters and Timestamps: 01:00 - Meeting Room Setup02:40 - Equipment Overview 05:10 - Setting Up the Boom Arm 06:30 - Cable Management 08:30 - Importance of Headphones10:00 - Microphone Techniques 11:20 - Post-Production with Descript Send us a textSave Frustration.

On this episode, I want to give you the Podcast Talent Coach best of 2024. These are the most downloaded episodes of the past year. IT WAS QUITE THE YEAR 2024 was quite the year for me and Podcast Talent Coach. We've seen many ups and downs. At the end of 2023, I received and email from my mentor that he was fighting cancer. He would lose that battle in February. That started the year with a kick to the gut. Over the past twelve months, I've been able to help dozens of entrepreneurs launch their podcast. We have grown quite a few with the Audience Explosion Blueprint. In September, we had another fantastic Podcast Profits Summit. And I've worked with my coach to refine my business and make my content and focus even stronger. I can't thank you enough for being here on this journey. It was been an amazing year full of realizations, learning and love. This road we are on can get a little crazy. Keep reminding yourself that it's all about the journey and not the destination. Let's take a look back over the biggest and most popular episodes of the past year. Maybe you missed them. Perhaps you want to revisit the nuggets in each. Whatever the case, here are the most popular episodes of 2024. BEST OF #7 Starting the list at number seven is Connecting With Your Personality – PTC 488. On this episode, I want to share with you a session I did recently during my Audience Explosion Blueprint Workshop. This was a powerful 3-day workshop where I helped a group of podcasters build their strategy to grow their audience. This particular session will help you develop your personality and begin building powerful relationships with your audience. Here is a sample of that episode. "If all you're doing is speaking to the 3% that are in the market to buy today to fix the solution today, you're missing 97% of your market." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/488. BEST OF #6 The episode hitting the list at number six is What is Your Biggest Challenge? – PTC 483 I recently asked that recently of podcasters on my email list, "What is your biggest challenge?" On this episode, I'll help you through a few of them. Here are a few of the questions I received... I'm trying all the things to increase downloads. My biggest challenge is getting the guests to share the episode. My biggest barrier is lack of courage to put myself out there. Learning to build an interactive community around the podcast is my biggest challenge. I'd love to have a strategy in place before I launch, then I know what I'm aiming for! How do you choose a podcast name? Here is a sample of that episode. "Remember, community comes from relationships, which is why I'm such a huge proponent of building relationships with your podcast." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/483. BEST OF #5 Number five on the list of the Best of 2024 is Podcast Promotion Questions – PTC 480 When it comes to growing our podcast, I get many questions about podcast promotion. How do we get in front of new listeners and invite them into our show? On this episode, we'll answer a variety of questions about podcast promotion. Here is a sample of that episode. "Studies show that the average podcast listener consumes about 7 episodes, 7 podcasts, different podcasts every week. And about 30% consume 11 or more different shows a week." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/480. BEST OF #4 Number four on the list is Dave Jackson – Profit From Your Podcast – PTC 485 Many podcasters want to create a profit from their podcast. However, most lack a strategy to generate revenue and grow their business. Dave Jackson is the host of the School of Podcasting podcast. He is also author of the best seller Profit From Your Podcast: Proven Strategies To Turn Listeners Into a Livelihood. He launched the School of Podcasting in 2005 and was inducted into the Podcasting Hall of Fame in 2018. Dave joined me on the Podcast Profits Summit to talk about overcoming your challenges without spending thousands of dollars. I want to share that session with you today. Here is a sample of that episode. "When I moved into this house had no carpet, and it was just this giant echo chamber. So the first thing I did was, like, okay. We need we need a carpet. We need some rug, something like that." "There's a really popular microphone called the Blue Yeti. And technically, it's not a bad microphone, but what most people overlook is that thing can pick up, if you want, in every single direction. Well, that's just screaming, pick up the neighbor's lawnmower and everything else." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/485. BEST OF #3 Making the list of the Best of 2024 from Podcast Talent Coach is Cindy J. and Making Money – PTC 479 When coaches come to me for assistance, one of the most common challenges is making money with their podcast. Most are using their show incorrectly and spending time in the wrong places with the wrong activities. There is a misconception about podcasting. You make money WITH your podcast, not FROM your podcast. I want to help you spend more of your time on money making activities. Cindy J. Holbrook the Visibility Wiz joins me on the show today. She guides entrepreneurs and small business owners to thrive as you go up the ladder from being the best-kept secret to Trusted and In-Demand Authority. Cindy J. has been coaching since 2009. She has been my coach and she's one of the best in the business. On this episode, Cindy shows us how to spend our time on the right money making activities, so we can generate revenue with our podcast. Here is a sample of that episode. "If you start doing something every day, you make sure you do at least one money making activity Monday through Friday or whatever your work days are. You're going to start seeing an increase in everything, in visibility, influence, and profits." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/479. BEST OF #2 One spot from the top in at #2 on the list is Turn Your Podcast Into A Book – PTC 477 Are you ready to turn your podcast into a book? Each week you work hard to spread your message and share your vision. If you produce an episode a week, you'll have 50 episodes in just under a year. With four pages of show notes (or 1,200 words), you could turn your podcast into a book. But, why would you want to go through all the work to write a book? There are six big reasons. We dive into those reasons on this episode. There is great news. You don't need to write the entire book yourself. Steven Leapley is an executive ghostwriter from Southern California. He helps creative people like you write their book. Steven joins us today to help us discover how to turn our podcast into a book. Here is a sample of that episode. "But I think the the biggest challenge is... it comes down to to honestly fear. There's you know, to to pull the trigger and actually write your book. You know, it's like, there there's a there's a fear of of is it gonna get finished? There's a fear of am I gonna get taken for, you know, taken? You know, there's a fear of am I good enough?" You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/477. BEST OF #1 That brings us to the most popular Podcast Talent Coach episode of 2024. Number one on the list is Why You Can't Grow Your Podcast – PTC 481 If you're like most podcasters, one of your biggest challenges you want to overcome is how to grow your podcast. I hear it often. On this episode, I help you dive deep into audience growth. In this episode, we dive deep into the challenges faced by many podcasters when it comes to growing their listenership. You receive invaluable insights into why some podcasts stagnate and what you can do to overcome these hurdles. We start with the critical importance of making your audience care. Provide unique value in your episodes. Infuse each episode with authenticity and stay true to yourself. We discuss strategies to build a relationship with your listeners, such as cleverly weaving your episodes together and harnessing specific tactics designed to not only attract but also retain a dedicated audience. Here is a sample of that episode. "Everybody tells me I want a bigger audience, and I go, what are you doing? Well, nothing really. Well, the audience isn't just gonna show up. They're not just gonna come knock on your door and say, hey, we're here. Where's the show? You have to do the work." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/481.

In this episode, host Evan Starnes discusses various types of microphones and their configurations for optimal audio quality. He explores external microphones like the Blue Yeti and Blue Snowball, built-in laptop microphones, and headset microphones, highlighting their pros and cons. The episode also covers how to configure microphone settings in Windows for better sound quality, emphasizing the importance of adjusting settings to suit individual needs.

1. Recording Equipment Camera: A decent camera is key for good video quality. You can use anything from a DSLR to a high-quality webcam. Some podcasters even use their smartphones. Microphone: Clear audio is crucial. USB microphones or XLR microphones with an audio interface provide excellent sound. Popular choices include the Shure SM7B or Blue Yeti. Headphones: Use headphones to monitor your audio while recording and editing. Good lighting enhances your video quality. Softbox lights or ring lights are popular among podcasters. Natural light can work too, but it's less reliable. Position lights in front of you to reduce shadows. You'll need software to record both video and audio. Tools like OBS Studio or Clipchamp (which you are researching) can capture high-quality video, while software like Audacity or Adobe Audition helps with audio editing. After recording, you'll need to edit your content. Video editing tools like Clipchamp, Adobe Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve are great for putting everything together. They let you cut footage, add transitions, and improve audio. 2. Lighting3. Recording Software4. Editing Software

Summary In this episode of Blind Level Tech, the hosts discuss microphones for podcasting and voiceover recording. They start by talking about the mics they are currently using, including the Audio-Technica AT2020 condenser microphone and the CAD GXL2200. They explain the difference between condenser and dynamic microphones and the best use cases for each. They also discuss built-in microphones in devices like laptops and phones, noting that while they can be convenient, they often lack in audio quality. The hosts then explore different types of microphones in various price ranges, including USB mics, XLR mics, and headset mics. They provide recommendations for affordable microphones and caution against using headset mics for professional audio work. They also mention the Blue Yeti microphone as a versatile option with multiple polar patterns. They cover popular options like the Blue Yeti and the Shure MV7, as well as higher-end models like the AKG C414. They also mention the importance of considering the sound profile, polar patterns, and durability when choosing a microphone. The conversation concludes with a discussion about their favorite sandwiches. Takeaways Condenser microphones are good for picking up audio from the room, while dynamic microphones are better for dialogue and close-up recording. Built-in microphones in devices like laptops and phones often lack in audio quality and are not recommended for professional audio work. Affordable microphones in the $20 to $60 price range can significantly upgrade audio quality, with options like Logitech, Zeal Sound, and CAD microphones. Headset mics are convenient but may pick up vibrations from the head and produce unpleasant audio quality. They are not recommended for voiceovers. The Blue Yeti microphone is a versatile option with multiple polar patterns and a built-in sound card for monitoring and adjusting audio levels. Proper microphone placement and technique are important for achieving good audio quality. There are many microphones available for podcasting and voiceover work in the $100 to $250 price range. The Shure MV7 is a popular choice among podcasters and offers both XLR and USB options. Other options in this price range include the Blue Yeti, Audio-Technica, and Sennheiser microphones. Higher-end microphones like the Lewitt Ray and AKG C414 offer advanced features and exceptional sound quality. Consider factors like sound profile, polar patterns, and durability when choosing a microphone. Rode microphones are also worth considering for their range of podcasting options.

I've lost count of the number of recordings I've had to pause or abandon because a lawnmower, siren, or enthusiastic dog has fancied getting in on the act.Back when we ran our podcast production service, clients regularly sent over audio that was full of distracting background noises. Not the ongoing hum of an AC unit or the gentle ambience of a cafe, but things like door slams, annoying desk tapping, or phones ringing.Then came the inevitable question, “Can you just edit that out?” followed by a patient explanation from our end that the noise was happening underneath the vocals, so if one was cut out, the other would be, too.Sure, spectral view tools and earlier iterations of iZotope RX were still exceptionally powerful. But I could never truly strip out a noise from underneath a conversation without it sounding like it was recorded underwater.And this isn't just about noise. Reverb has always been notoriously hard to remove from voice recordings. On top of that, if one person sounded very obviously off-mic, it was impossible to bring them “on-mic” in post.But in 2024, audio software has suddenly evolved to the point where almost anything is possible. Reverb is no longer a huge issue, it can correct poor mic technique, and most background noise – even the intermittent stuff – can be removed without many folks being able to tell it was ever there in the first place.The beauty of this, too, is that the software often does it automatically. There's no need to tweak any settings or go through the trial and error of more traditional Noise Reduction tools. Experienced audio pros might consider this lack of control, but remember – most podcasters are not audio pros.A great real-world example of this sorcery in action was our recent Podcraft episode on Podcasting 2.0 with Sam Sethi. I recorded the conversation outside The Podcast Show event in London, and several fire engines hurried past as we talked. I'm not sure what was going on, but maybe they took the LIT tag a bit too literally…Anyway, this wasn't a deal breaker for the audio – the conversation was still audible. It could have been briefly distracting, but this is often the nature of on-location audio in urban areas. In a moment of curiosity rather than expectation, I ran it through Alitu, and was amazed to hear that the software had completely stripped out all the background noise. On top of that, you definitely couldn't tell we were sharing a mic or even recording outdoors at all!Sam commented on this in episode 81 of the Podnews Weekly Review and was kind to credit me for my production skills. But in truth, all I did was upload the source file. It's incredible to hear how far audio software has come. So many recordings that would once have been considered unfixable now have the capability to be transformed into studio-quality conversations.So, does that mean we can finally drop the ‘silk purse sow's ear' metaphor? Is “you can't fix it in the post” obsolete advice? Is striving to record good, clean source material just an unnecessary barrier to content creation?You can probably make convincing arguments about the above, but before folks throw out their foam tiles, shock mounts, and general audio standards, here's a countercase.Why You Should Still Record Good Clean Source Material (When Possible)If software can probably fix it, why worry about it in the first place?Good Enough Audio, or Great Audio?Whilst modern audio software can remove, repair, and rebuild bad audio, it can also enhance, polish, and optimise good audio. Taking some care to feed in the best source material possible can help your show become one of the best-sounding in your niche.Check out this case study from Lindsay's piece on What Podcasts Do for Your Brain:Study participants listened to two-to-three-minute interviews from NPR's Science Friday with altered sound quality. Co-author Eryn Newman said, “As soon as we reduced the audio quality, all of a sudden, the scientists and their research lost credibility.” Newman and Schwarz found that as soon as material required extra effort on the part of the participants, they trusted it less. Respondents rated clear information as more reliable. Software Isn't FoolproofAudio software can do increasingly amazing things, but don't rely on it to fix everything. Just because you have a smoke alarm in your house doesn't mean you'll rely on it to tell you if the toast is burning (though, if you do, at least you know you can probably edit the noise out of your recordings!).Recording Clean Source Material Isn't Difficult…says the guy who recorded a podcast interview on the set of Backdraft. But this isn't about perfectionism, and you definitely have a lot more grace when recording in the great unpredictable outdoors.Good practices are as simple as choosing a room with a decent amount of soft furnishings, getting close enough to your mic, and logging out of Slack or Discord. Don't be that podcaster recording in their bathroom, six feet away from their Omnidirection-set Blue Yeti. Software might make it sound a little better, but that's nothing to be proud of.The Danger of Slipping StandardsIf you no longer care about the quality of your source material, what message does that send to the part of your brain that insists, “I take podcasting seriously”? What other corners might you then start to cut in the planning and content side of things? One day you're dropping a crisp packet in the street; the next day, you're fly-tipping a mattress. Beware the slippery slope, is all I'm saying.Summary: Software as a Safety NetIt's brilliant that audio software can fix so many issues for us now. It makes podcasting so much more accessible. There's no getting around it that you'll make mistakes with your audio in the early days. Ten years ago, some of these mistakes would've warranted complete re-records, but not now.Even more experienced creators aren't immune to the odd suboptimal recording. Sometimes, I'm not as diligent as I could be. Other times, I'm at the mercy of an outdoor environment and all the sounds that come along with it. It's great to know that, with one click, I can fix it in post. I'll never rely on it to do my job for me, but I'm glad to know it has my back.If you'd like to check out Alitu, which was the software used in this case study, you can sign up for a free trial and begin using it right away. Of course, other great podcast editing tools are available, too, so check out our roundup if you'd like to do some shopping around.

You may have seen some news making the rounds about a new study that claims to have objectively ranked all the US States according to how friendly they are for singles. We were skeptical of this claim and dug into the data – believe it or not, there are issues. Join us to discussing the importance of accurate variable weighing, checking the sources of one's data, and covering up your classism a bit better. We also talk a little bit about what the uncritical coverage of this dreadful material says about the state of US media.Joel has been podcasting for 3 years and occasionally drops the ball when it comes to podcast setup. The content is great but the audio was recorded on his laptop microphone, not the high-quality Blue Yeti stand-alone mike that you all have grown accustomed to. DTG despises genocide and continue to support people fighting all forms of it.

My name is Moss Bliss. I'm a podcaster. This is technically my 2nd HPR podcast, but as the first one was unintentional AND back in 2019, I can start fresh. I don't know much of anything. I'm a Linux user, about the same way most people are Windows users. I have gotten more technical over the past few years largely due to being a regular on various Linux podcasts. I don't have sufficient education to be hired in computers (although I've tried several times), and I did spend a few years in radio back in my youth. So what do you have to know to become a podcaster? Almost nothing. Just so long as you have a computer, an Internet connection, and a microphone. (For some shows, you may need a webcam.) I got into podcasting by asking questions. I tried for almost 2 years to get Chris Fisher at Jupiter Broadcasting to co-feature me, with zero experience, on a podcast about using Linux desktops. It never happened. So when in 2018 Rob Hawkins asked for new hosts to take over mintCast, I was one of the first 10 or so people to apply, and one of 6 who eventually stuck with it. All I had was a computer, an Internet connection, and a Blue Yeti microphone my little sister gave me. Within a few months, I started another podcast, Distrohoppers' Digest with Tony Hughes. And a couple years later, I was asked to take over Full Circle Weekly News. Apparently some people like my voice. Since starting my little mini-career in podcasting, I have probably more than doubled what I know about Linux. I'm not all that scared of the Terminal anymore... Some microphones are pretty bad, and my Blue Yeti was the worst one on the show when I joined mintCast. In about a year, I found a very inexpensive CAD Audio U29 USB mic, currently $20 at Amazon, and that worked pretty well. Some time after taking on Full Circle Weekly News, the magazine bought me a Samson Q2U ($60), which I'm still using. I love this mic, as it can be used either as a USB mic or plugged into a sound box for even better audio. When I started, I had a T430 laptop and the Blue Yeti microphone. My listeners and co-hosts have made my life better with new and used equipment I could never have afforded on my own, including laptops, Raspberry Pis, modems, routers, headphones, and even a sound box. My current setup includes a 2016 Lenovo ThinkCentre M600 Tiny, which cost me under $200 on eBay, a Focusrite Solo sound box (a gift from a friend), a WavLink ST336A external goodies box (also a gift), and an old Dynex 26" TV I use as a monitor I paid $15 for locally. I have a boom arm for my microphone, which is made by Neewer and costs $15 on Amazon. My keyboard is a Fellowes Microban Natural, which I need as a trained touch typist. And I put all this stuff on a little rolling computer desk, which I bought used locally for $25. The only software I use is Audacity, and I didn't need to know any more than the basics. If you're part of a team, such as mintCast, you aren't even required to do any audio editing, although if you know your way around Audacity you will find your skills very welcome. If you want to start podcasting, have the equipment, contact Ken (Note: I misspoke in the audio and said Ronnie where I meant Ken) and do something here at HPR, which is a fairly low entry bar, or you might contact long-running shows such as mintCast. Participation and commitment are usually all that is required. OK, so maybe you want to do more than produce an HPR show or join mintCast. You have your own idea and you want to get it out there, your own personal podcast. This is where it gets a little more detailed. If you already have the information you need, you can stop the podcast here, but... First, you'll need a website or blog (if you're really broke, there are free WordPress sites available at wordpress.com, or you could use the dreaded Google blogs (blogger and blogspot). Other than that, you'd have to register a domain name, find a webhost, and write a website, some of which can be cheap (or not!). Then you have to find a way to stream your podcast. Google has closed Feedburner, but there are some paid places like Red Circle you can get for not much bread. Those will probably help you stream your podcast to places like Apple Music, Archive.org, Spotify, etc. But if you want help from me, I'm already lost. mintCast is handled by Bill H., Distrohoppers' Digest is handled by Dale M., and my Full Circle Weekly News is uploaded to Ronnie for publication. Or maybe you want to do it with a few friends, and they can't cram themselves into your bedroom to do that. In that case, you should explore using Discord, Jitsi, VDO.ninja, or (sizzle preserve us!) Zoom. Everyone will need to record their own part of the stream, and you'll need someone who knows Audacity well enough to edit a few (or several) streams together. Maybe you want to post it on YouTube. If you want both a video and audio podcast, someone will have to learn OBS and Audacity, and if you want the video podcast to be edited, have fun learning one of the many video editors out there (you might start with KDEnlive). For more information on streaming, you'll need to get someone else to make an HPR podcast on the subject. Way over my head. I hope this little show has pushed a few of you into wanting to try your hand. It doesn't take much, or it takes a whole lot, depending on what you want to do, and your future listeners will thank you. My listeners have certainly shown me lots of thanks.

This episode will finally convince you to stop showing up to Zoom calls or podcasts with AirPods as your mic input. (It's fine for output.) For emotional association and any appeal from a sales or marketing perspective, sound is far more important in the brain than visuals or words. We process sound 10x faster than the blink of an eye. 95% of purchase decisions are EMOTIONAL, 5% rational (see Instagram graphic).Hear my three comparison recordings between Airpods, computer speaker, and Shure SM7B. Most of the episode is with my Shure SM7B mic as usual. However on this one I did NOT use Descript's Studio Sound setting so you can hear the true raw comparison.

Starting a podcast can transform your business by attracting clients, forging connections, and showcasing expertise. With three years of podcasting experience, I'm eager to share insights from my journey. Podcasting has seamlessly integrated into our business strategy, enabling us to engage with clients and delve into meaningful discussions with guests. Witnessing how our podcast not only draws in ideal clients but also fosters valuable relationships has been truly remarkable. Reflecting on my journey as an introvert, I recognize the emotional challenges of entering the podcasting world. Leveraging my journalistic background, I've found comfort in the interview process, allowing my curiosity and listening skills to shine. Authenticity is paramount, and while the initial steps may seem daunting, embracing the platform yields rewarding outcomes. Investing in quality equipment, like the Blue Yeti microphone, and establishing a structured process from recording to distribution are crucial for maintaining consistency and professionalism. A valuable lesson I've learned is the significance of having a backlog of episodes before launching. This not only ensures a seamless start but also facilitates strategic marketing efforts. Despite the dedication and effort required, the joy and satisfaction derived from podcasting make it a worthwhile endeavor. I firmly believe that podcasting is a potent tool for entrepreneurs to authentically connect with their audience and propel business growth. Join me in exploring the transformative potential of podcasting, and if you're seeking to bolster your online presence, consider exploring our agency's services at www.thebrandid.com. Quotes “The podcast is an audio version of what working with us is like.” “So much of our personal brand really is our personal journey. And the first question most of our guests answer is, you know, tell us about your personal journey and how it's impacted you.” “[The podcast has] really helped me get out from behind the business brand. Me as the founder, me as the CEO, me as the chief strategist.” “I'm very comfortable hiding behind the scenes of the business is the team knows, but this is really forced me to get my voice out there to get my opinions out there to formulate them to communicate them, which as a person who's a little bit more on the introverted side is not always easy to do.” “If you're going to do a podcast at a professional quality level, you're going to want to also put show notes out, you're going to want to email your list that the episode is out. And you're going to want to advertise every episode on social media. And in order to do that, it takes time.”  “Having a process to keep your content organized to keep the different files organized, and to keep your timeline organized is extremely helpful.” “Have an accountability buddy because the fun part is recording the episode. The rest of it feels kind of administrative and tedious and if you're busy, which most entrepreneurs are, if you're busy or even if you're working for someone else, when you add a podcast to your plate, you are adding one more thing to your plate, right?” “If you start doing a weekly show, make sure you release it on the same day of the week, week after week after week, because your audience will like predictability.” “Even though a podcast is a great way to build your brand and your platform, really make sure it's a platform that you enjoy because that joy will come out in the recordings.”

Welcome back to another #AskCVV episode where Chris answers your burning questions from Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. We got some great questions about wrestling, movies, content creation and everything in between on this one. If you have one that you want answered on the next one, send it in using the hashtag #AskCVV! Quote I'm thinking about: “Life itself is a privilege, but to live life to the fullest-well, that is a choice.” – Andy Andrews Here are the questions we answer on this episode: Wow, can you believe CM Punk is back in WWE? I know you posed this question earlier this week, but what is YOUR answer. Which of CM Punk's returns do you think was bigger? What was the atmosphere like when you were at Survivor Series when CM Punk returned to WWE? And do you think that Punk will finally main event a WrestleMania next year in Philly at WM40? Can you list other opponents you would like to see CM Punk face in WWE aside from Cody, Reigns and Rollins? What did you think of Randy Orton's return at Survivor Series? If you called Maven right now would he answer? I just started listening to the show at the start of the year and now you're my favorite podcast. I listen to every episode! It really feels like your show has become massive over the last 6 months and you're everywhere. What would you attribute this to? What is the story behind the website wrasslin.com? You made a video talk about how it redirected to WWE.com, but now it redirects to your podcast! What happened? As fellow interviewers, we're curious to know: What does your interview prep look like? Do you read or watch other recent interviews with the guest? Do you take note of topics they're asked about often? Content Creator question. Especially with podcasting, I've been using the typical Blue Yeti, is that still a good go to for starting out or do you have a recommendation to help elevate the sound of the show better? If you had one takeaway from 2023, what would it be? (I love the podcast!) You are such a positive person, is there anything that bothers you or annoys you? As someone who is looking to start a podcast, what did you find was the most daunting thing to start? For the quotes at the end of the podcast, is there a rhyme or reason to which one you use?
