This might be a David-only problem. I was looking at the recommended equipment and the pricing seemed very high. Turns out it's because the links are for Canada. When I replace "amazon.ca" with "amazon.com" in the URL the prices are normal retail or less. I hope that helps. Sorry Canadians!

1. Once your show is officially LIVE, drop your PODCAST ARTWORK, & your APPLE + SPOTIFY links in the comments below. This is where we all help each other build momentum and boost early traction. 2. Don’t just drop your show and disappear. Take a few minutes to engage with others, listen to their episodes, and leave real reviews. This is how you build connections and get the most out of the community. 3. And a personal note from me: please don’t leave surface-level reviews. Actually listen to (at least!) part of their episode and share thoughtful, honest feedback. We can all learn so much from each other. Everyone here has something powerful and unique to offer. Lift each other up. Celebrate each other’s work. Let’s make this the most supportive corner of the internet for new (and AWAKE) podcasters! Drop your show below when you're ready. 👇

So, usually I love getting plans and structure. Which is why I'm extra confused and surprised that I'm not vibing with the plans and structure here. I think because I'm uncertain on what I'm actually trying to accomplish? Or because I'm still in "I wanna talk about everything and I don't care about the audience" mode? I decided to go rogue and skip everything and just publish a thing without all the fancy pieces. And that's what I did. I made a silly name and cover art probably a year ago so I went with that. Pretty likely I'll change all the things later, or delete and start over. And all the copy is definitely not optimized or whatever. But here's the thing! https://open.spotify.com/show/2bNQRZMSP1v94e4lwrkROz https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healing-octopus-radio/id1859140559

If you were there live, please leave what you remember that I missed!
