In this episode we talk about some considerations you may want to have when writing your show notes (aka episode descriptions). We talk about what makes a good episode description, why you should put some effort into the description, ways you can make it easier for you to balance your valuable time as a hobby podcaster, and we share some lessons learned from our recent RSS feed migrations that will hopefully help you better future proof your episode descriptions.

  • Update on SP's quest to find a StreamYard replacement

  • Magix Vegas 22 is now out

  • Chartable closing
