10/23/18 • 24 min

As a follow-up to a couple prior episodes aimed at those who record their podcast at home, we delve this time into a creative setup solution, thanks to a listener who wrote in with something anyone can take advantage of -- podcaster, YouTuber, or any other creator. If you are unhappy with and battle against your current setup, listen as Craig Richard describes what he came up with to eliminate bumps and other obstacles that were impacting the recording of his podcasts. We also refer you to a website that he established simply to help (not sell to) other podcasters and creators for informational purposes. This episode just might challenge you to reevaluate the layout and positioning of your podcasting gear!
