It wasn't easy but we did it. Started to see the effects of using video. Lie streamed from Zoom to Youtube at first but was actively searching for new platform to make process easier.
Zoom as a streaming platform isn't ideal for podcasters. Main reason is the quality of the stream and the lack of ability to add things like intro/outro and quality editing.
In addition, the sponsorship in the second season accelerated listenership. from just a handful of streams per episode to 20+ per episode.
