There are a bunch of reasons to have someone take over your thing while you're gone. Share your audience and take a break every once in a while. Just don't get your hopes up for this show, folks.

Don't spend too much $ on microphones to start. Record in your closet. Make your priorities planning, sustainability, and enjoying the process.

If you have podcasting questions, you can ask on Twitter.
