    I don't understand how you don't have more subs!! I was enjoying the video when I realized you were not a 300k-subs-chanel. Great video man, I've been doing some research and this was the most helpful video. Keep it up!!

    Yeah stay away from Riverside, the audio drift is ridiculously terrible.

      Just tried out Riverside based on all the recommendations, and it was a complete mess (I am in trial mode, so there is that). Heavy white noise in the recordings, crosstalk from guest into host audio (not from audio feedback - seems to be something in the processing somehow), and dropped frames in the video.

    This was actually a great review! Straight to the point and I love that you compared what you get in each price plan. I think I’m going to give a Zencastr a go for now but will keep an eye out on developments with Riverside as it seems like it could a great investment for the long term

    Really wanted Riverside to work, but it's ruined 3 or 4 of my podcast episodes now with buggy audio or video. Or just plain glitching! Switched over to Squadcast and I noticed an immediate improvement in reliability.

    A little nerdy, but very useful information! Sorry to see you don’t have a million subscribers. I’m planning on starting a podcast on an area of crypto currency that from my POV is sorely needed because too many people are missing the boat on what this revolution actually represents. I really don’t want to be a podcaster, but believe if I don’t no one else will and I don’t want to do a half ass Job if I’m going to do it. This is very helpful! Thanks a bunch.

      Really love this response and love your message about crypto too. Agreed. I currently work on The Magic Internet Money show if you want to check that one out, although it's incredibly rough and ready. Let me know if you ever need a hand. Always looking to help :)

      @@PodcastTech Thanks for the response. If you don’t mind my picking your brain I do have a couple of million questions for you.
      I’m thinking it’s best to have some sort of loosely assembled business plan and jumping into a podcast with a big investment is not my style. I’d like to start off with a polished iPhone type presentation that I would script and try to hit certain bullet points to see if anyone finds my input on the subject worth listening to. And, if so decide the how and what to expand in equipment based on other factors later. Any suggestions? If you’d like to make a video of helping me setup my small business crypto UA-cam channel I’d certainly be willing to work on that with you. Maybe we can both learn something?
      Let me know and best regards,

      @@furqanmeerza8382 i had problems with the paid version, i just couldn't make it work, especially including the logo.
      also, just lost my last interview - the health check was all good, however, the guest's version didn't download, he had to do it manually afterwards
      in the end we saved it, but that's not the point
      now i have to wait until after the interview whether i really have the interview or maybe not, maybe it didn't download?
      i've also heard about riverside's problems, so i am probably opting for squadcast
