Channel: Zcash Foundation Audiovisual Club
Date: 2023-06-07

Welcome to the 4th Zcash Foundation Audio/Visual Club Monthly Meetup! In this video, we dive deep into the world of content production to promote Zcash and privacy. To begin, we discuss the progress of our club, highlighting regular meetings, workshops, and activities on Discord.

Joel Valenzuela provides a technical overview of podcast recording. He shares his expertise in using open-source software, specifically OBS on Ubuntu, for both live and recorded podcasts. Streaming to YouTube is made easier with the restream plugin, allowing simultaneous broadcasting to platforms like Odyssey.

Joel also unveils his hardware setup, featuring Logitech webcams, an Audio-Technica 2005 USB microphone, wireless headphones, and a professional lighting arrangement with softboxes and a ring light. He even explores the idea of incorporating AI-generated artwork into the background for a personalized touch. We also discuss the platforms where our podcast is available, such as YouTube, Odyssey, Spotify, Apple Music, and various social media platforms.

Meet Aura and Roosevelt, active members of the Zcash community! They've been working diligently to promote Zcash in Latin America and the Hispanic community worldwide. They share their experience in creating the first Zcash website in Spanish and running the Zcash en Español blog. Recently, their grant proposal for "Zcast: A Zcash Podcast in Spanish" was approved by the global Zcash community.

Aura and Roosevelt outline their plans for the podcast, aiming to make Zcash accessible to a wider audience through various formats, including recorded episodes and live event coverage. They discuss the equipment they've acquired to ensure high-quality production, such as microphones and cameras.

Expect engaging episodes with guest speakers covering technical aspects and real-life experiences with Zcash. Aura and Roosevelt express their enthusiasm for spreading awareness and fostering adoption, particularly in Latin America. They emphasize making the podcast comprehensible to all listeners, regardless of their technical background.

We conclude with a lively discussion among participants. They touch upon topics like Google Translate's limitations, the significance of grassroots marketing, technical equipment, audio/video technology, and publishing platforms. The upcoming Zcon4 event and the excitement surrounding it are also mentioned. Additionally, they explore using new technology, including AI applications for art and marketing, and ensuring identity protection during livestreams. Open-source software and restreaming options for multi-platform broadcasting are highlighted as well.
