In an earlier essay I mentioned the importance of planning your show prior to thinking about any of your gear needs. Once you've put the time into the preparation and have your Name, Description, Cover Art, and draft of your first 12 episodes, you can then start focusing on your tech needs. Lucky for you, I just happen to have that list handy!

Start with Professional Microphone

Beginner: Samson Q2U ($80)

Pro: Shure SM7B ($400)

Boom Arm: Samson MBA38 ($70)

Headphones: Sony ZX - light & affordable ($19)

High Quality Input

Remote Recording: SquadCast.fm (starts at $20/mo)

Edit Your Media

Audio: Hindenburg Pro - Noise reduction plugin included ($10/mo)

Video: Descript ($12/mo)

Promotion

Cover Art / Episode Graphics: Canva (Free to start)

Audiograms: Headliner Pro (Free to start)

This is a starting list but it will definitely set you off on the right path. As your needs grow you can look into signing up for a social media scheduling tool for help scheduling your episode promotion.

When considering an additional expense, take the time to determine whether the investment will truly help in the growth of your show.
