Almost 3 years into podcasting for
The Marketing Meeting
With a few breaks here and there, I’ve finally found my flow. I can get really upset with myself when I still face sound issues time to time.
I know that there are 100 other things I should do to make it better, but rhythm was the number one priority this year.
With a hope to help new podcasters, here’s my 'sophisticated' podcast stack (and apps) that helped me build this rhythm:
- Sound isolation: Blanket on the marble table from
Brooklinen
?? I should get an isolation shield, but there’s no closet space for such equipment in a NYC apartment.
- Mic: I made the mistake of using a Blue Yeti in year one. I switched to the Shure MV7, and it solved a lot of sound problems. I’m so happy with my mic.
- Headphones: I’m still debating whether to use big headphones (mine are Bose) or just AirPods. I’m very comfortable with AirPods, not so much with the Bose. Do you know if it really matters or not?
- Recording: I used Zoom in the first year—again, a mistake. I love Riverside.fm.
- Hosting: I used Spotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor.fm) and recently switched to
Libsyn
after a poll I did on LinkedIn.
- Camera: I have a MacBook Pro. The camera is quite good, but I know I need to buy a proper webcam. Have any suggestions?
- Production: The one and only reason I’m finally in flow is working with a great producer like

I still do not batch episodes longer than 2-3 weeks. That's something to work on.

5 个月I love reading from firsthand experience, thanks Itir. I think the Razer Kiyo pro ultra is worth checking out. I have the older version and it's travelled around the world with me but works great every time I need it.
