Tools That make my Life Easier...
Buzzsprout
The absolute best platform to use to launch and grow your podcast/show. If you host your podcast with Buzzsprout from the get go, then you’re in a golden spot. We love Buzzsprout for its ease of use, product-centric ethos, devotion to podcasters, and concentration on the fundamental features that actually matter versus crazy bells and whistles that most podcasters don’t really need.
Squadcast
Before Squadcast, I was drowning in a sea of glitchy audio and poor user experience. Now, I’m spoiled with high quality sound, an intuitive tool, and great support if I need help.
For interviews, SquadCast is an amazing web-based interview platform that makes it SUPER simple to record the highest quality audio over the Internet.
Trello
One of my favorite project management tools. If you are a bit of an organization nerd and if you want to visualize see everything on your plate and be able to drag and drop with ease, then this tool is for you.
