05/14/24 • 21 min

In this engaging podcast episode, Donna Eade, a seasoned podcaster and mentor, delves into the world of podcasting equipment, sharing valuable insights and tips for beginners and seasoned podcasters alike. She starts by emphasizing the importance of maximising existing resources before investing in new equipment, highlighting her own journey starting with just a laptop, free editing software, and iPhone headphones.
