Recording Video Podcasts at High Quality with Riverside
I heard about Riverside via The Editing Podcast YouTube channel.
I haven’t yet used it, but I have experienced the pain of trying to record a podcast interview with Zoom and Google Meet, and Riverside sounds compelling, so noting it here for the future:
- no download necessary
- record locally, upload when network is ok
- record at 4k
- record separate streams for audio and video
- transcription

CA Regulation of 1099 Contractors
In 2020, Assembly Bill 5 (AB-5) made it much harder for businesses to classify their workers as independent contractors in CA.
Here are a few useful links about the law:

- Wrapbook Worker Classification Tests
- Wrapbook Everything Producers Need to Know About AB-5
If you do have someone who falls outside the scope of this regulation – such as a volunteer or intern working for a stipend – they need to sign a deal memo similar to this sample:
