Becky MagdalenoGuestSo, so it's, uh, really a, uh, my question is a little more on the pragmatic, and it kind of, I'm gonna start with Becky.
How do you edit all that? How do you sort this? You know, it's very easy to record.
I mean, and I, and I'm gonna date myself.
Remember when we would do a tape recording, and then you'd back up and the eight-track.
I mean, the, I never knew how to do it, but, you know, it, you need, you need a certain skill set, a certain understanding.
And of course, I know technology's much better and much easier, but it still takes time and still, what do you do? How do you even figure that out? And of course, I will give, uh, points to Monte 'cause I remember when he first talked about these videos, this was before we would take him a podcast, probably 10 years ago or more than that at a strategic.
And he's like, "I think that's great," and we all think that's great, but nobody knew how to do it.
And of course, Rhonda and Becky have figured out how to do it, and the two of you have also figured out how to do it.
So how does that all work? How do I, if I wanna do a podcast, what do I do now, right?
So I'm gonna start with Becky because she's our executive producer.

Well, I'm, I'm sure there's better production value from the other women on the screens.

Let's see what happens before we invest all this money into something that maybe nobody even wants to listen to." So, uh, as Rhonda mentioned, we did do our first couple as videos.

That wasn't the intention to always do it that way, but we took advantage of having people together at our convention while we already had our, our annual videographer, who most of you know that is at our convention every year, was already there.

And so then he edited those videos, so I cannot take any, um, credit for those.

But then since then, we also realized if we wanna reach people, we have to use Zoom, or else we're not gonna be able to get everybody in person, or we'll be spending so much money on waiting till when everybody's together that we're not go- never going to have episodes.

And, and one of the things I stressed when this idea came up is we can't just put out one episode and then disappear for several months.

There has to be, you know, what are we gonna keep doing? If we wanna get listeners, they're going to expect podcasts at a regular interval, as with most other podcasts.

You know, well, every Tuesday or whatever it is, the, the new episode is there.

So we went with Zoom, and we did, we got these nice backgrounds that Chrissy made for us, [laughs] and we're, we're using anybody who logs in is using their own microphone.
