Episode description

We’re doubling down on what matters most: giving our community the best fitness and mindset advice.

In order to do that, we’re moving to an audio-only format to bring you better sound quality and a weekly schedule you can actually count on.

If you only catch the show on an audio platform like Apple Podcasts, then the great news is that the quality of the show is improving for you.

The show will still live on YouTube as an audio stream, but the real magic is happening in your headphones while you’re at the gym or on your commute.

Hi everyone, it is Derec from Outlifting here.

0:03

Just wanted to make a quick video

0:04

to say that if you’ve noticed

0:05

a bit of a brief silence from us lately,

0:08

please don’t worry.

0:10

We aren't going anywhere.

0:11

In fact, we have been taking some time out to upgrade.

0:15

Since Alan and I started the podcast,

0:18

The Outlifting Lounge, last October,

0:20

the support from the community has genuinely been incredible.

0:24

Someone even recognised me in real life last week

0:26

as 'the guy from the gay fitness podcast',

0:28

which was genuinely really cool.

0:31

It's amazing knowing that

0:32

the show is reaching so many people

0:34

and is providing the community with something genuinely useful.

0:38

But in order for us to keep the momentum going,

0:41

we need to make a few changes.

0:44

We’ve looked at the data, and it’s

0:46

clear that you’re listening

0:47

to us at the gym, on your commute, and while you’re on the move.

0:52

And while the vast majority

0:54

of our audience is catching the show on their favourite audio podcast app,

0:57

the video version isn't attracting many regular viewers on YouTube.

1:02

Editing a full length video version is really time-consuming,

1:06

and we think that's time that we could be using better for the show.

1:11

So, we are officially shifting our focus

1:13

to a premium audio-only experience.

1:17

By moving away from video, we will be able to double down

1:20

on audio quality and you may have already noticed

1:23

our new mics sounding a bit crisper.

1:26

We will be able to get more consistent with weekly episodes.

1:29

And we can also create more bite-sized social media clips,

1:32

which is something we really want to do.

1:36

We're not completely abandoning YouTube.

1:38

The show will still go out as an audio-only stream,

1:40

and we'll post video shorts there too.

1:44

Remember, if you have a topic you want us to cover on the show,

1:47

or want to get in touch with us

1:48

about anything at all, you can drop us an Instagram DM.

1:51

Our handle is @outlift.ing

1:55

And you can also send an email to podcast@outlift.ing

2:00

We’re so excited for this new chapter,

2:03

and excited for you to come with us.

2:05

So until the next episode, over and Outlifting.
