If you don't create your own music, what free and paid options are available -- especially so that you can keep it legal (and yourself out of trouble)? If you commission someone to create your music, what tips should you consider to find someone and communicate what you want? We talked about it all!

Topics Included:

- Quiet, but POWERFUL microphone preamps
- A larger HDR touchscreen
- Virtual channels and customizable audio routing
- Better portability and improved power options

"Know your audience." It seems like a given in content creation like podcasting and livestreaming, but how *well* should you know them? How much should you even consider them? We discussed the balance of creating for your audience and creating for ... yourself.

Should you consume your OWN content as a creator? What could be the benefits of listening later? I guess I already mentioned one in the episode title. ;-)
