Can You Still Make It as an Audio-Only Podcaster?

Enjoying the show? Support it here [https://easypodcasttips.com/support]. Can you still grow a podcast without video? With so much attention being given to video podcasting, it's easy to feel like every creator needs cameras, lighting, and a YouTube strategy just to compete. But is that really true? If you've been wondering whether audio-only podcasting still has a future, this episode is for you.

Why We Miss AIM Away Messages

Enjoying the show? Support it here [https://artifactspodcast.com/support]. Before status updates, before social media profiles, and before we carried the internet in our pockets, there were away messages. A few lines of text attached to a screen name. And somehow, they mattered. In Episode 4 of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores how AIM away messages became one of the earliest forms of online self-expression. From song lyrics and inside jokes to cryptic messages aimed at one specific person, away messages gave people a small but meaningful way to tell the world who they were. But this isn't really a story about instant messaging. It's a story about identity, connection, and a version of the internet that felt smaller, slower, and more personal. Why do people still remember away messages decades later? And what do they reveal about the way we communicated before algorithms, influencers, and personal brands became part of everyday life? Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t. GET INVOLVED If you enjoy Artifacts, you can support it with either a one-off tip, or become a monthly Archivist.

Reverb and Echo Aren't the Same Thing

Enjoying the show? Support it here [https://easypodcasttips.com/support]. Reverb and echo are often used as if they mean the same thing, but they're actually very different audio issues. In this episode of One Minute Podcast Tips, I explain the difference between reverb and echo, why understanding that difference matters for podcasters, and how each one can affect the quality of your recordings. You'll also learn some simple ways to reduce unwanted room sound, improve vocal clarity, and make your podcast sound more professional without spending money on new gear. If you've ever listened back to your recordings and wondered why they sound distant, hollow, or "roomy", this episode is for you.

The Strange Emotional Power of Burned CDs

Enjoying the show? Support it here [https://artifactspodcast.com/support]. Before streaming playlists, there were burned CDs. Carefully curated collections of songs, handwritten track lists, homemade cover art, and hours spent deciding exactly what came next. In Episode 3 of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores why burned CDs became so much more than a way to listen to music. They were expressions of identity, creativity, friendship, and sometimes even love. From Napster downloads and LimeWire mishaps to the emotional labour of creating the perfect mix, this episode looks at how music discovery used to feel slower, more personal, and more meaningful. Why do people still remember burned CDs so fondly decades later? And what happens when convenience replaces effort? Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t.

Why Listener Feedback Matters More Than Reviews

Enjoying the show? Support it here [https://easypodcasttips.com/support]. While podcast reviews can help with credibility, social proof, and showing potential listeners that people enjoy your podcast, I'd be paying just as much attention to listener feedback.
