For this episode of The Podcast Producers, Corey and Jessica take a step away from the microphone and get the honest opinions from podcasters about whether they outsource their podcast or not. A podcast can be a full-time job and very time consuming to get the quality right, so do podcasters like to take on all of the work or do they prefer to delegate certain parts out to the professionals?
