Episode #40 seems like a good time to reflect on what we’ve learned over the past year or more that we’ve been recording. We’re airing our failures too because nobody ever seems to talk about their flops. All the main points come to mind – audio and other technical problems, sounding stiff and uncomfortable, not publicizing our new releases. But we also share some of the things we did to promote traffic, where we published and how that’s working out for us. So grab a cuppa and settle in for a listen.
