Stephen Jondrew and Stargate Pioneer host a weekly podcast dedicated for the Hobby Podcaster with tips and tricks on how to get started, sound great, have fun and not break the bank. Each week they talk about a podcasting topic in depth within an arc (like how to start a podcast, podcast gear for the hobby podcaster, and tips on different types of presenting-announcing-hosting) and then run down a current news item of importance to podcasting. They also run down any feedback and offer advice on how to make your hobby podcasting time better, easier and more fun.

So you've got Step 1 complete - you're now having fun with your hosts. Today we'll talk about Step 2, which making sure you have fun with your listenership. We'll run down some points which will hopefully help you reflect on your show and think about whether or not you can help your audience have more fun.

In this week's episode we have a jam-packed Better Podcasting Download section. First up, we'll discuss a new podcast-related startup called a Podcast Garage. Get ready to choose between mommy and daddy as Stephen and SP are on opposite sides for this one. Next, we'll give you some information that you may want to know about BEFORE updating to the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition if you do a video podcast. Rounding off the download, Stephen and SP will discuss the recent news (as in the same that they recorded the show) that Blab.im has shut it's door (for now?).

Wrapping up the show, in Better Podback, we'll discuss a recent question about our image art/branding.
