In this episode we chat about why we thought it would be a good idea to put such a guide together, and how helpful we hope it will be to have basic production questions answered in one accessible document, as we help you to record, mix, and release your first audio drama. All profits made from book sales will go towards supporting the show, covering our hosting costs, and keeping us running. Another potential revenue stream is our new store on the CafePress website where you can buy podcast branded t-shirts, hoodies, mugs etc. We’d also like to thank you for your continued support of the show as we move towards the New Year.
