Customer Reviews
Taking me to the next level
I've been slowly growing my own podcast over the past 6 months but since I found Ray on Twitter and started listening to his shows I have a better understanding on what I need to do to get my podcast to what I want it to be. VERY HELPFUL!
Generous Help for those who want to Podcast
Great show and great help! I only wish I'd found you two months ago. As a new podcaster, your advice is invaluable. If I'd only found you sooner I could have saved myself some grief. At least I have been able to incorporate some of your advice now so that I don't continue some of the bad habits I started out with. Thank you very much for sharing with the community.
High quality and easy listening
The audio and video quality of shows is excellent. The host is knowledgeable and low key, very easy to listen to. He reviews and discusses a lot of products that can be used for recording audio and video so the show is a great resource. I highly recommend the show!
