I really enjoyed listening to the podcast " 10 Thing's I Wish I Knew Before I Started a Podcast". This review was a follow up from listening to "How to Start a Podcast " with host Travis Albritton and Alban Brooke. All in all, the Podcast was very informative, filled with eye opening tips and resources, motivational messages to help you throughout your journey. This podcast has truly fulfilled its purpose. Great Job! Hope to maybe run into this team one day as I began my journey starting a Podcast as well.
