@Bellpian2470 I think you are from Indonesia, right? Perhaps @Velvel or one of the other moderators from Indonesia can help you to get in touch with other local guides in your area? There is definitely a very lively local guides community there!

@TerryPG it was only when I started processing the clips that I realized the amount of steps needed to get everything ready. And as the podcast is recorded in stereo, I also had to convert most clips from mono to stereo - fortunately that is only a few clicks in Audacity.

Happy 5 years of LetsGuide @JanVanHaver ! 
I get so excited every time a new episode comes out. 
I couldnāt wait to get home and listen to it when this one launched. What a wonderful idea to include all Local Guides voices in this podcast. It was so nice to put some voices to names from Connect as well as to hear what drives them and what ideas they have and so much more. 
I liked your idea too for how Google Maps should give more straightforward directions when heading out of a parking lot (i.e. instead of west, say head straight, or show an arrow). I too struggle with that west/east, etc and find myself driving in circles so loved that suggestion.
It was also nice to see that Googlers were able to join as well and share their thoughts. I think itās especially cool how the ideas submitted by Guides on this podcast will also be heard by the Google Maps team. So wonderful!
So appreciative of all the hard work you put into this podcast series. Ideating content, recording it, and editing it is no easy feat. Thank you again for all that you do!
