I am nervously excited to introduce my first full appearance in a video podcast. Watching this podcast back, I was a bundle of insecurities. I felt I looked a lot larger than I am and you could tell I was nervous as a twirled in my chair for the first 10 minutes or more. But as I settled more into the conversation and relaxed I think I'm happy with how it went. I'm actually looking forward to trying the next podcast which comes my way.

I’ve been using YouTube for years, and the recent updates really caught my attention. The new side-by-side ads are something I didn't expect, but surprisingly, they don't feel too intrusive https://gyre.pro/blog/youtube-updates-side-by-side-ads-voice-replies-google-lens-in-shorts They actually blend better with the overall design. What I really like, though, is the voice replies. It feels more natural and personal when interacting in the comments, especially for creators who want to engage with their audience more authentically. Also, the Google Lens feature in Shorts is such a smart addition—it allows you to explore visual content in new ways. Overall, I think YouTube is moving in a good direction with these changes.
Podcast interviews are an opportunity to share your knowledge and insights with an audience. Try to enjoy the experience and focus on the value you're providing.
Remember, it's natural to have some jitters, especially in the beginning. With practice and experience, you'll likely become more at ease in front of the camera.
