PODCAST OF THE DAY
The Fusebox Show

Fusebox is a quirky, entertaining podcast that dives into various topics with an unconventional twist. Hosted by the dynamic duo of Marc, a talented musician and award-winning audio designer from the West Coast, and Milt, a former DJ hailing from Utah with extensive radio experience.

PODCAST TIP OF THE DAY
Things To Consider Before Buying A Podcast Camera

Choosing the right camera for your podcast can really level up your content. As more creators are turning to video podcasts, it's become crucial to select a video camera that best suits your needs. Different cameras available in the market vary in size, price, and build; however, no two models are alike, so people must consider their skill level and expectations when making a purchase.
