You should put it on youtube also.

You should put it on youtube also.

I've thought about it, but I can't imagine it drawing any more viewers. I could try adding video and putting on youtube, however I feel like uploading another audio copy to a different platform isn't gonna improve anything. adding video might, I should try a digital episode just to see if I fuck with it.
thanks for the tip my man.

For what it is worth, I prefer watching/listening to podcasts and media on YouTube in a browser, even if audio only with a logo showing. I do not use podcast software of any kind or listen 'on the go'. I use Soundcloud in a browser if necessary. It's good to be on YouTube for the search engines and for whatever monetization you might get there.

Agreed. YouTube is a big platform and everyone has an account. Look at what the HTB guys do. They upload their podcasts on sound cloud and YouTube. They get more views on YouTube I think. You don't need a video per say. Just one image and the audio

Okay I will for sure start doing that in the future.

It takes time and consistency to build a following but if you keep putting stuff out there each week consistently, I'm pretty sure you will get a big youtube following in no time. Seems like you are putting stuff out for each event so I don't see why you wouldn't get a good following. As for whether or not you'll get any more listeners, you will definitely get one more listener - me. I've never listened to your show before but I will listen to the youtube link for sure

 

[burge13]

Yeah I am much more likely to listen/watch via youtube than any other platform for podcasts. Though there is no shortage of MMA podcasts so you'd want to differentiate yourself somehow

 

[zeckdo]

thanks for the feedback this week fellas.

Thats why she looks like a goddess

From what I read her family comes from Poland.
They talk polish at home, know our culture.
Arianes favorite food are our traditional ,,pierogi"


Oh and she will fuck up Moroz bad
