PodBitz - Surviving Pandemics, Earthquakes, and Kids

Published: March 18, 2020, 6:39 p.m.

A lot has happened since our last PodBitz. Schools are cancelled and we have kids at home demanding our attention.\xa0

  • Toilet paper and hand sanitizer have become a commodity.\xa0
  • Countries are closing their borders
  • We are in either voluntary or forced lock down in our houses.\xa0
  • And to top it all off, we woke up this morning here in Salt Lake to a 5.7 magnitude earthquake. I\u2019m closed to a nervous breakdown\xa0

Focus on service. When we turn our attention from the negative things that are happening to the ways we can help others we feel less helpless and more in control. So, this is my call for you. Your skills, experiences, knowledge, entertainment is needed. Don\u2019t stop producing your shows. And if you\u2019ve been thinking about starting a podcast this is the time.\xa0

For those of you sharing information about the COVID 19 be responsible with the way you share this information. Make sure you use reputable sources like the CDC. Always check your sources and stick to the facts. Also try to be the positive force, the light in the darkness instead of feeding into the fear and chaos. \xa0

Talking about ways we can help, this last weekend we put together a workshop on how to start a podcast on a budget. It\u2019s an hour and half workshop and it\u2019s free. In that workshop we teach you everything from how to find a topic to how to record and launch. The workshop is on our YouTube channel.\xa0
