How I Record My Podcast Using Blue Jeans Network

by Cheval John


A couple of months ago, I had written a post about how I convert my live stream shows to a podcast.

Though it showed the step by step process of turning a live stream to a podcast, you were probably wondering how I did a two-person live stream on Facebook Live in the first place.

The video below will show how I simulcast my podcast recording, What’s The Word? using Blue Jeans Network.

I want to let you know there are other video platforms like Zoom Webinar, Wirecast, and even Crowdcast.io that allows you to simulcast to Facebook Live and YouTube.

I chose Blue Jeans Network because their platform is very simple to use and it fits me.

Without further ado, here is the video

In closing, I want to let you know that later this week will be the 300th episode of What’s The Word?

The guest of honor is Heather Havenwood, author, speaker and entrepreneur.

The episode was recorded on Blue Jeans Network and you will hear the entire interview on BlogTalkRadio

Here is a snippet of the interview with Ms. Havenwood

Using Values As A Standard For Business

By Cheval John

I am trying something new in 2017 for Vallano Media, LLC.

Every Saturdays, I will be putting together a recap of What’s The Word? where you will see the show notes from each episode.

Today’s recap is the episode with the guest of honor, Dr. Betty Uribe.

Dr. Uribe shared about her upcoming book, Values: The Secret To Success In Business and Life.

The show was recorded first on the company’s facebook live page via the huzza.io live video platform before converting into an audio format to air on blogtalkradio.

You will hear about how she had to make a difficult decision to move to the United States with her mother and siblings

You will also hear about how people close to Dr. Uribe envisioned her dining with the most powerful people on the face of the earth.

And why she believes that having true values will allow anyone to be successful in their businesses and lives.
