What makes a "podcast city" is the community of podcasters. A strong local ecosystem makes for strong shows. It is just like in music. Cities with strong interconnected music communities produce exceptional bands. I think the same thing will work for podcasting. We just need to start building those communities and that is exactly what the guild is trying to do. The DMVShowHey guys! I actually started my podcast doing live shows roughly 2 yrs ago. It is definitely challenging being the host, producer, sound engineer and all in between. I never edited anything.. I love doing it live unfortunately, I ran out of material. But i am planning a reboost to the show....fine tune....thxs for all the adviseSpreaker/Voxnest Links:https://Voxnest.comhttp://blog.spreaker.comhttp://SpreakerLiveShow.comhttps://Spreaker.comEmail: rob at voxnest.comSend Questions and Comments to:Twitter: http://twitter.com/spreaker using #SpreakerLiveTwitter: http://twitter.com/VoxNestTwitter: http://twitter.com/robgreenleeTwitter: http://twitter.com/alexeum Tech Support: support at spreaker.com
