Episode 33: Hotline Bling!

Self Made Pod

Hotline Bling

In this episode, we kick things off with some fun banter about personal grooming—mainly Mike’s beard—and then dive into reading some podcast reviews and fan mail from you guys. We throw in a few dad jokes and chat about a local festival with cool vendors that caught our eye. Of course, we couldn’t resist talking shop, with Mike sharing his love for cherry wood and what he's been working on lately. We also geek out a bit over high-end audio gear for some of our fancier clients before wrapping up with some thoughts on repurposing content for the seasons.
We dive into YouTube, sharing tips on how we keep engagement up, repurpose videos, and drive traffic from Instagram. There’s talk about YouTube Shorts, finding the balance between quality and consistency, and why building a strong community matters. We also touch on monetization, reaching different audience groups, and the excitement around new projects—like Sam’s van build. All in all, it’s a fun chat about keeping it real and enjoying the creative process with our viewers.
