In this special episode of 1337 Wine TV, Mark explains the equipment needed and the costs involved in producing a video podcast. From the most basic, to the complicated. This is a very long episode so sit back and relax. Topics not covered in depth here are audio and video editing and production. These are mentioned, but to go into depth on these two subjects would require an additional show. Thanks to all of you who have watched over the years. Onward to Episode 500!
