You've been making more videos! I love this! I also freaking love podcasts! I'll definitely be checking out your podcast! This is so exciting! so many of my friends are starting podcasts! Someday, I'd like to start a podcast.
Big yes to all of these podcast recommendations. On The Media occasionally has a frustratingly condescending-grandpa tone to it that made it hard for me to listen to around the election, but the content is so good that I can generally overlook that.
I've done three podcasts now, which have all been group discussion ones. Lately I've been wanting to move into non-fiction narrative style (like StartUp or This American Life). But like you said, you need a theme. So I've been toying around with a few ideas. I'd say podcasts are easier overall, but more tedious to edit depending on how long they go.
Yeah, it def takes me a lot longer to edit a pod than edit a video. But, I don't have to worry about camera editing and making it "exciting" to watch lol
I've considered making podcasts before but like you said, you really need a bit of a plan for the series. It seems like a lot more effort! I'm thinking of starting a feminism podcast next year as I'd love to work in radio so that could be a way in, but it's really just a matter of making the time for it now.
My rec would be to research as many Feminism pods as you can and try to find a way to make it your own! Something different and worth listening to so it's not a repeat of a lot of other feminism podcasts
So, I'm initially uploading my podcast to Soundcloud but I think that's going to become expensive quickly. May I ask what you use to host your podcasts?
