Many podcasters say they can’t recommend the Blue Yeti or other condenser mics because they pick up, everything! And it’s true! They pick up EVERYTHING! I know, I have one! But there is a way around that!

Do you remember mp3.com? Well, it still exists, but it’s not the platform it used to be, where independent musicians could upload their music, and people could actually start virtual record labels right on their site! Now, it’s something quite different. So what happened? You’ll find out here on Joey’s Totally Tech!

Youtube used to be a place that was great for content creators to make money. But as many companies that advertised on the platform complained about some of the content their ads were shown on, Youtube has made changes - many of which are understandable - but now many which are a bit odd. Like now you’re demonetized for mentioning COVID-19. Other alternatives have popped up - the most popular one being Library, or LBRY. What are the differences? And what are the pros and cons of each? We discuss this today on Joey’s Totally Tech!
(one thing has changed since the recording of this. LBRY does now allow for optimization at different resolutions if you select "Optimize and transcode video". This was not reflected in the podcast episode.)

Well it's November! Thanksgiving is coming up this month, but of course you should be thinking about Christmas, Haunakka, and other holidays! What kind of gifts are you giving to your tech and gaming friends? And let's say you're on a budget of $50! We want to help you prepare! We're talking about this today on Joey's Totally Tech!
We made a huge mistake telling you about interserver.net. After using it myself, I found that this service is not reliable and the customer service experience, for me, was very bad. But I can recommend the web host I've been with all along, Web Host Python! They offer great unmanaged VPS plans for as little as $10 per month or managed VPS plans for as little as $30 per month! Do you want shared hosting? They offer that too! They have great uptime and fast customer service! So Web Host Python is the place to be!
