EPISODE LENGTH 49:14

Chit chat time! Elsie’s birthday redux

5:10 Elsie shares how she treated herself for her birthday! She breaks down what it takes to get used to looking at her actual face when using a fancy camera, up-leveling her entire tech set-up, including lights, and software!

If you want to see what she’s talking about here is the She Podcasts live stream!

Stacey Simms feedback on Podcast 2.0 and Spotify

11:14 It seems that Stacey, a long time podcaster has no idea what Podcast 2.0 is and she agrees with Elsie’s thoughts on Spotify.

That brings us to rehash the whole situation that went down in the last episode.

We had Stevie, who was in the chat bring up the problematic history of Spotify and musicians.

Elsie asks

When do you get big enough to be responsible for what you’re saying?

The independent creator manifesto

When does getting cash from a larger corporation create problems for independent creators?

Creators will start to gain more and more power. This is just the beginning.

26:19 We love our sponsor Link Tree!

Our tool tip - Rephonic. Not what we thought it was

It seems to happen a lot, Elsie or Jess ads something thinking it’s one thing but then it ends up being something else.

They, live and on the air, find out things that confused them.

Elsie attended the best virtual event EVAH!

Elsie was enamored with Luria Petrucci’s virtual event called Expand Your Reach Summit!

There are not very many events that make Elsie jelly and this one event made her want to strive to be more and create the best membership experience for She Podcasts!

So.

Much.

Love.
