Today, we’re continuing with more podcasting news stories. If you haven’t heard the scoop on the Rode Creator Awards, jump back to episode 147 for all the details. Also, Canva users’ jaws drop as a 300% price increase is announced, leaving many wondering if it’s time to seek out new budget-friendly design tools—or if they’re too invested in Canva to leave.
