Last week we talked about exploring other communities to help grow your podcast, and in the process we briefly touched on social media. However, since social media is a topic in itself, this episode we talk about some of the challenges and considerations you may have when trying to use social media for your podcast (and it might not just be used to promote your podcast!).

In this week's Better Podcasting Download we chat about some of the most common software-based failures we see, and some insight we have from a software creator on hardware that might help minimize these troubles. We also talk about the latest Rode hardware announcements.

Finally, we run down some Better Podback including one listener who challenges the big deal about crutch words.
