Elevate Your Podcast: The Best Tools for Captivating Your Audience

As podcasting has evolved, so too have the tools to make it easier for podcasters to produce high quality content that sounds as good as any professional show out there, even if you’re just recording in your closet. In this episode, we’ll start with the bare bones tools you’ll need to get started and tell you why it is that just because a tool is expensive or free, that doesn’t determine the value that it can bring to your podcast.
We’ll start with the tried and true microphones, and help steer you away from the novelty products that often come with issues. We’ll tell you about Digital Audio Workspace (DAW) programs that we use and the several other possibilities that could work for you. And Headphones might not be as important as you think they are, but we’ll explain why you need to find a pair of cans that work just how you like to hear yourself.
This is all to consider when you're beginning your podcasting journey and how much of an investment in the equipment you’ll want to start with right out of the gate. We also discuss ideas for advanced podcasters who might be looking to upgrade their equipment. And we tackle some of the situations where you might have several people participating in your show and some of the ways to set that up.
