Then, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters. In this episode, Amber Nash (RePhrasing: An “Archer” Rewatch Podcast) recounts what distinguishes a good podcast from a mediocre one, and J. Keith van Straaten explains how many hours go into making one episode of Go Fact Yourself.
