God blessed us with a new rental with an in-house studio! I just posted a picture of our cozy studio in social media 10/5/24. God continues to bring things together for us! Prayers for donations and against spiritual warfare are greatly appreciated. I feel big things are on the horizon that are still to unfold. 

Donations go towards things like the audio editing & paying off the microphones. We also need to get an EIN established & will be putting donations towards legal consultation so everything gets set up correctly without issue. After that, we'll be working on saving up for trademarking the podcast logo. #goals

We finally got a location to use when we can't record the episode in someone else's home! What a blessing! I kept scheduling the podcast recordings, knowing that God would work out the how! So glad I did! We have SEVEN episode recordings on the books with one in editing for next week's debut. It sure would be nice to see income from this adventure come in soon! The startup expenses added up and the audio editing is an ongoing expense. I know God's got this though so he'll work it out!

Our initial financial goal was met & allowed us to get 3 podcasting microphones along with headsets, cords, microphone stands, & pop filters just in time for interviews! It felt like Christmas opening up the box today! God is so good!

I've decided to focus on getting the audio sounding great and interviews scheduled before worrying about cameras. However, I have a big vision! Wanting cameras will lead to wanting so much more that goes with them, including a studio for it all! #babysteps #bigvision 

We reached our initial fundraising goal and can now get some of our own microphones & better headsets! The next goal is to get a couple cameras to add the visual element to bring these to YouTube. I'm still researching which camera will be best and I'm praying someone can help with this part of the vision as well! Still finalizing location details for when we interview people. (Our house will be too noisy with our dogs & visitors.)

I found someone to edit our podcast audio and they're excellent! That part of production did not bring me joy.🤭 This week I also had a professional graphic designer help us with the podcast artwork. The 1st episode launches September 9th, 2023! They get better, I promise! We still need some more microphones and a cord but it's coming along!

We had a training session for editing the audio this week. I've learned that there's so much I don't know, and I want to find someone that this editing part brings them joy. I just want to be able to upload my audio file and schedule it for publishing. I have no idea how to open up files in Pro Tools let alone make my audio recordings sound good. When I look up tutorials, I'm lost. Most tell how to record, yet I already have the recordings. I've posted a video in hopes someone knows someone they can refer. Prayers and financial help are appreciated!

Saturday, we recorded the 1st 3 episodes and the dogs didn't bark once! Hallelujah! I also claimed the God's Goodness Podcast name tonight on the podcast hosting site! I'm also working on getting together with the right people to help me with the editing. I'm also working on the social media posts for the launch date and future episodes in the meantime. 

Thanks for checking in! We have the logo created and Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, & Facebook accounts set up! We still need an audio interface, at a minimum, to be able to start recording. That's approximately $150.
