The topic is clear. The voice is clear. And I know it will be short and sweet. Great job!
In Case You Missed It
- Email volume increased by around 70% over a two-year period starting in 2020. The Welcome email is still the most important one to get right.
- Apple's new iOS 16.4 release is making calls sound better, which means if you are recording phone calls, your podcast should sound better too.
- Indie podcasters are not even sweating the big push into video. They are good with audio only.
