Welcome to the Freelancer Journalist 5 Minute Talk Show, a podcast made for independent journalists and producers based on the idea that 5 minutes of short interviews and practical advice can be much more effective and valuable than 45 minute discussions. 

Overview:
In this episode we introduce the podcast, the topics that will be discussed and our host, Carlos P Beltran.

We also invite freelancers to join the community by visiting www.carlospbeltran.com/tips watching free Webcasts and Tutorials designed exclusively for freelance video producers and subscribe to our newsletter for free content once a week.
