This is one of the two big issues I have been having with starting my podcast. The other is who to use for podcast hosting. Sorry about the question I know I am pretty new to this.

I am starting a two person podcast and we have a Rodecaster Duo with two Podmics. We have done some sound testing but as for recording and editing a show we are not sure what to use. Most of the reviews out there seem to be more secret ads then actual reviews. So what do you all like to use? a free program like Audacity? OBS? Davinci Resolve? something like Riverside? or Adobe Audition? Or something else I am unaware of.

Hey everyone,

I recently started a small YouTube channel called noonetoldyouu:

https://youtube.com/@noonetoldyouu

It’s an audio-only channel focused on overthinking, anxiety, burnout, feeling lost, personal growth and the kind of thoughts people usually keep to themselves.

I started it because I’ve personally struggled with those things for years. Sometimes you get better, then life pulls you back into those feelings again. I just wanted to create something honest that might help people feel understood or a little less alone.

I don’t really feel comfortable being on camera yet, so I decided to make it audio-focused and more personal.

I wanted to ask:
How would you grow a channel like this organically nowadays? Especially when it’s not super niche and more emotion/personality driven?

And if the channel sounds like something that could help you or someone you know, I’d genuinely appreciate any support, feedback or subscriptions 🤍

Okay, I want to try to keep this short. So if you have any other follow-up questions, please let me know :)

I have always wanted to be a YouTuber/Podcaster before that was even a thing. I'm a 90s baby and remember playing "talk show" for hours, where I would pretend to talk to a camera and audience. This has always been a dream of mine before "YouTuber" was even a career I knew existed.

I have always been the "weird gifted kid" loved theatre, went to a special arts school, loved performing and public speaking, all of that. I'm very communicative and love to share my thoughts, ideas and comedy. I also love the idea of being a DJ lol (I hate how multi-passionate I am)

When I turned like 18 I just got hit left and right by life for quite a while and pretty much gave up all momentum I had for myself.

Now I'm 31, no kids but married and feeling like that dream of creating a platform and a community are gone. I also own my own photography business (couldn't avoid the creative entrepreneur archetype forever, haha) and am afraid to have a second public-facing profile that is so unrelated?

My dream is to have a channel like Brittney Broski's style channel, where I have the weekly podcasts and then also some random stuff and then the ability to make it more of a real production if anything ever took off.

I feel really scared and down on myself, and like it's too late and a pipe dream. I'm afriad my limited amount of free time would be better spent on other more "realistic" and "practical" things like building my current career

I'm just looking for any encouragement or, advice or perspective? I feel so silly to even have this dream, and like I should just quit while I'm ahead and work on loving my life for what it is and not chase a dream that is so likely to never have an audience.

I know this post is inherently negative, but I've come here because I know I want to have a better mindset, i think?
