Episode 054. “They sold you this microphone saying that it had 'everything you needed inside the box to get started,' and they gave you that crappy little microphone stand.” ~Your Podcast Boss

Black Friday, Cyber Monday…  you are probably super busy tooling around the internet looking for the best deals on podcasting gear… I know you have heard me say so many times in the past that it's not about the microphone -- the success of your show, the quality of your show is so not about the microphone. And I'm going to kind of take that back a little bit. 

Gear is important. 

You are doing something that requires gear, that requires equipment, that requires a tool to get your message your thought leadership, your ideas, your insights, your wisdom, your incredibly amazing conversations with other people out into the earbuds of listeners everywhere.

I have used a lot of different audio gear of different levels and different qualities over the years of podcasting. I have helped many, many podcasters to get their own shows started and to improve the quality of their shows. I have listened to so many podcasts. I listen to podcasts like it's my job. Well, it kind of IS my job. What a cool job!

And I have recorded in so many different recording environments, different spaces with different people and different speakers. And here is one place where I am going to draw the line.
