Better Podcasting

In this episode we talk about the idea of anonymous podcasting. We discuss some of the reasons you might consider podcasting under a nickname, some of the reasons you may not want to, some of the challenges you may expect to see by using your real name, and some of our experiences using pseudonyms. We'll also discuss some of the places we think you just may not be able to escape using your real name. Plus, SP has a big reveal regarding his pseudonym.

In this week's Better Podcasting download, we talk about Facebook Audio Rooms going away.

In our Better Podback, we give a follow up to last week's discussion about an editing mouse, and share a funny store that happened to us.

Tascam just released a new recorder/mixer called the Mixcast 4, and it reminds us a lot of the Rodecaster Pro. This episode we run down the specs on the Mixcast 4 and then summarize some other mixers/recorders, what we think is their pros/cons, and how they stack up against eachother. We hope this episode helps you navigate what is rapidly building to be a sea of options in this space.

In our Better Podback, we have listeners answer polls including what they'd like to see for funny podcast awards and what SP should do with his spare time. We also have people comment on new gear and price increases in hardware.
