On this week’s episode on The Art of Music Tech, Fela and Denis discuss the topic of podcasts. The two audio experts go into detail of why they began to create podcasts and how they started to make podcasts. Both Fela and Denis have created music and produced content for such podcasts, and their biggest advice is to get started with a RSS Feed such as Podbean. An RSS bean allows you to submit your podcasts to different platforms all at once (which is what 23db Production uses!).
