It’s been almost two years since I started working on the book “More Podcast Money.” As I did my final preparations to get it ready for Amazon, I laughed as I had to edit out mentions of resources like scratchback.com (as it is no longer in service). I had done all I needed to do….
I’m so excited, and I just can hide it. Somehow in the next week or so I’m going to get the new Audio Technica ATR2100 microphone (or if I want a black mic with a carrying case the ATR2005). Why am I excited? New podcasters want an easy solution. They want plug and play. The…
