Every Wednesday there's a feedback post. You can post your request there. Also give someone feedback. Be civil. Please remember we are all at different levels of podcasting. Plus we’re here to learn from one another. When giving criticism make sure it is constructive criticism. Saying something is just “bad” or “sucks” will result in your comment being removed. Multiple unhelpful comments will lead to a ban. Basically, if you can’t say something helpful, then don’t say anything at all. - Requesting feedback
There is a feedback thread set up specifically for your request. It is posted every Wednesday. Please submit your questions on feedback there. When asking for feedback be direct. Ask for feedback on things like: Sound Quality/Levels, Music, Topic, Vocals, Etc... Vague request for feedback may be deleted. - No review swapping
