Why I'm doing this

I'll be honest about something a lot of people in my world are feeling and not saying out loud: I've been a bit burnt out. Not because I hate video, but because I had audio dialed in — routines that worked, clients I loved, schedules that made sense — and suddenly there's a whole new layer of complexity to figure out, charge for correctly, and learn the tools for.

But this isn't the industry betraying me. It's just the industry moving. And it's moved before. When I started, podcasting itself was the weird niche. Then it became normal, then competitive, then the tools got better and the workflows got tighter. Now here we are again at that messy early stage — but with video.

I've been through the messy early stage before. I know what it looks like: too many options, bad advice everywhere, and figuring out what actually matters versus what people say matters.

So instead of grinding through it alone and stressed, I'm documenting it — and sharing it with anyone in the same boat.

What you'll get

Real stuff from someone who's in it right now. No assumptions that you have a full production crew — because you don't, and you don't need one.

📷 Camera setups that make sense

What actually matters for a good-looking video podcast — without the gear rabbit holes.

🛠️ Software recommendations

How to pick between Riverside, Descript, and a fax machine 😜 — which tools actually fit your show, and which ones you can safely skip.

✂️ Editing workflows

Workflows that don't make you want to quit — built by an editor, for editors and podcasters.

🎧 Audio still counts

Ten-plus years of audio-first craft. Video is an addition, not a replacement.

🎥 Videos!

We'll do live stream hangouts, you can preview tutorials, and videos showing how I work.

Who this is for

Podcasters trying to add video to a show you already love making.

Editors like me, trying to serve clients in a video-first world.

If you've been Googling or asking ChatGPT and getting answers that assume you have a full production crew — you're in the right place. Let's figure it out together.

Who this is not for

Anyone who already has a full production crew and a team handling all of this.

People who want a polished, finished course right now — I'm sharing as I learn, in real time.

Anyone who thinks it's video or audio and wants to abandon one for the other.

Folks chasing a magic shortcut instead of what actually works.

And no — audio isn't going anywhere

People still commute. People still do dishes. People still want something in their ears that isn't music. The audience for audio is real and loyal. What's changing is what clients expect and what platforms reward — so this is about adding to what we know, not abandoning it.

Let's help each other.

I'm sharing tips, tutorials, and what's working as I learn it.
