Please describe your podcast and why you thought it would be a good topic to have a podcast on.
Colin Shields is the quarterback of our football team, plays basketball, and plays baseball. He’s helped push all of his teams in the right direction, and will continue to do that in college. He gave us great insight into being the leader of a team, and how it’s changed him as a person, and athlete.

How has the podcast changed since the first show? What are some things you’ve learned and done to make it better?
We’ve fixed lighting issues, and are constantly trying to get better audio. We’re going to change sets soon and try to ramp up the production with a two camera format.

What tools do you use to record, edit and publish your podcast?
We use a Canon 80D, and Adobe Premiere Pro.

What advice do you have for others looking to make a podcast?
Just keep at it, and don’t give up. Some episodes you might not be super proud of, but that’s not a reason to quit. Try to get entertaining guests as well to make the podcast not just about you. It gets easier as time goes on.
