NOTE: The audio for the Elsie side of the conversation is pretty AWFUL. Krystal was unable to use headphones so there is a lot of echo from her side 🙂 #sorry

BUT, Krystal does do most of the talking so it’s totally doable. I was able to make it through to write these shownotes 🙂

Have you thought about using Google Hangouts On Air for podcasting?

Since we started Libsyn Live we have had a lot questions about HOW to set up a Google Hangout on Air from other podcasters.

Krystal decided to give you exactly what you asked for!

She had recently done an amazing session at Podcamp Pittsburgh. You can watch it here.

BUT she also decided to do it again just for our people!

Take a looksie, it’s a step by step for you guys
