Most have died off due to a lot of different reasons. The article is from Amplifi . And t...

How is your Podcast doing? Do you even have a Podcast? Well not to worry. It all starts with you trying something you've never tried before. On the Kris and Kristine Show back 3 years ago we tried podcasting. With an old HP computer and a few cheap $20 microphones we gave it a shot. After trial and error we found what works best for us. A few upgrades and a few years of confidence later here we ar...

Happy Podcasting! We either hate editing our shows, or we love it. Either way you slice it, it can be time consuming. Maybe you have lots of extra time and you can afford to spend hours doing some podcast editing. Maybe you're like me and you have very limited time to edit a podcast. But you still want to put out a solid sounding show. We pay for things with either time or money. If you would like...

Happy Podcasting! Hope you have a podcast and if you do, congrats on doing something that others won't even try to do.

Link to the Vacation Video -   https://youtu.be/sMLJcvVruzs  As we returned Kristine and the kids all caught Cov...

So glad to be back to Podcasting! Because of my busy schedule and my main studio being taken over by a guest. My recording space has been limited.

I take you on a audio tour of my house and show you sample of different locations a...

Helping people is what I love to do, that is why this show is here. To help you with your podcast.  This week I created my own online Radio Station called K2 RADIO  Audio Hijack Mac OS Total Recorder Windows The Kris and Kristine Show

If your looking to upgrade your audio gear, then the new Rodecaster Pro 2 has been released for preorder. If you already have a Gen 1 Rodecaster, do you consider upgraded and is it worth it? On this episode I look at 3 different audio devices and go over what they can do. Do you need the power of a Rodcaster to create your podcast? You can probably create a show with just a USB microphone and a la...

What is BAD audio? Today we dive into some samples of bad audio to help you create GOOD audio. I have some clips from a local radio station. When they do remote interviews, it's usually done over the phone. And even with the big budget of the radio station it doesn't sound as good as it could be. Bad audio can take you away from the content you're trying to share with your audience.  Do you play p...

Welcome to my 60th Episode! Thank you so much for joining me today. A short time ago I discovered that Zoom had just changed the time limits for meetings on the free plan.

I always have used Cleanfeed. https...

If your dealing with recorded audio, nobody...

Thank You for listening. I made a few changes to Podtastic Audio. I created an all new logo for the show. As it turned out, my old show artwork was under specifications requirements. And I didnt like how the name blurred into the design. I wanted it to be prominent and noticeable. So I went into Canva on my computer rather than creating it on the phone. Tip - don't make your show artwork on your p...

She was selling a book about relationships and da...

Happy Easter weekend. I've been on vacation all week long. And we've had a full house of kids as they are also off for spring break. During the week we had a guest interview scheduled and I didnt have access to our regular studio room.

Power of Audio Best sound from the guests. On K2 show we have had a variety of guests on the show. Each of them sound really good compared to other interview shows. How is that possible? We own 2 air jets that we send out all over the world to pick up the guests. We bring them all to the studio In person. How else do you think we get great audio from everyone and it sounds like we are all in the s...

Many new podcasters have a problem with creating decent audio for their podcast. One easy ways to fix a problem before it gets worse is to Monitor your own microphone live in real time. I know not all setups can work with live monitoring with 0 latency. But if yours does, I would highly recommend that you listen back to your microphone live in real time. The reason is that you can catch any audio...
