Thank you for this video. I am in the process of starting a podcast.

[mollyanderson]

Thank you so much! I was trying to do this last night (with the exact mic and headphones that are recommended) and my interviewee could not hear me at all. I think I’ll try it again, but plug the headphones into the mic like you suggested.

[AmeenaChannel]

Just what I needed in such a helpful and accessible style! Thank you!🌷

[lillianmcgrew]

Thank you for this information and I need this ❤

Hey Stephen. I just found Riverside last night. Watching several of your videos, I don't see a microphone. What are you using in this video?

[anthonytirri]

Hi, This may be elementary but what happens when you "publish" an episode on Transistor? Where does it go? Can people listen to the podcast? I'm confused with the show being "published" but it's not on a platform like Apple or Spotify.

[jamesmiller]

I am keen to know about adding intro and outro and transition music or effects to a podcast. Is that done in riverside or in editing software after the podcast is made?

[hamsazwain]

is it possible to use the iphone as a cam if you're not using a mac? Or maybe another phone cam?

[AmberLucero]

Are you able to export video and also export just the audio for Spotify/ apple podcast.

[helenawisdom]

Can I upload an existing video into Riverside and create Magic Clips for promotion to social media platforms

[havenjify]

I have Riverside and unable to figure it out. Is there a way to have a background layout while doing a live stream?

[funkovader]

He there great video, I have a question in the editing mode is it also possible with layout with multiple quest instead of 2, 3 or 4 guest

[ScottJohnsonHealth]

Why set the audio and speakers to the microphone? Wouldn't you want to set the speakers to your headphones if they are plugged into a mixer?

[uvc]

So maybe this is a dumb question, but with Riverside, for a Video podcast, would we still need to purchase an audio recording device? such as the zoom podtrak device? Or does riverside take care of that as well?

[jesusfreak]

Same issues as others .. Im starting to regret joining riverside. See since they don't explain the full process i made and open a Spotify Podcast account and apple aswell before doing my clips on riverside. Now im more confused then ever. I never was told about transistor because riverside avoids it and makes more videos about lights and microphone etc.

[jaggerlissette]

Quick Question.

I recorded a Test Podcast (Video And Audio On Riverside)

And me And My Guest Both Left Before the Download For the Files Were Complete To 100%.

The Video Was Very Out Of Sync And Etc Is this Because you Need to Let All the Audio Files Download To 100% first or is there anything else that makes my podcast Not Sync Properly And Doesn’t Generate The Whole Podcast Start to Finish.

Thanks
