Episode 58: Creative Mavens Heather Newman and Annelise Sexton

Episode 58 of the Mavens Do It Better Podcast is our 1st Anniversary special celebration episode featuring our host Heather Newman and our producer Annelise Sexton. We are celebrating our first anniversary with a discussion about producing a weekly podcast, what tools we use, and our first time attending the WerkIt Festival, a women and non-binary conference this past month in Downtown Los Angeles. Thank you to all of our guests, followers, subscribers, and fans for a wonderful year! Happy Halloween!    

Note from the Producer: 

In this episode it may at times sound like we are unwrapping candy, we wish we were. We experienced some recording issues that were not caught at the time and while I’ve cut the worst of it, there is some I could not get rid of.  

Annelise and Heather caught up virtually from Alameda, CA and  Marina del Rey, CA.  

Listen in as  they talk about:  

  • Best moments and lessons learned from the WerkIt Festival. 

  • A year into running a podcast, what we’ve learned and are still learning, how it came about, and where we see the show going. 

  • The tools (hardware and software) we use for recording, editing, and promoting the show, and some tips for those who want to start one of their own.
