Millions of people right now are thinking about starting a podcast. For some it's a new idea. Others have been dragging their feet for years unsure of how to make it happen and what they would even talk about. The truth is, it's easy to start a podcast but most don't make it past their 7th episode. In this episode I'll share a few things I've learned about what it takes to create a good podcast so that by the time you hit your 7th episode you're just starting to hit your stride to go for the long haul.

Post-production notes:

I did very little additional processing of my audio in this episode. I thought I would need a de-esser with this microphone but as it turns out none was needed. I did very minimal work with the EQ settings and added just a little compression. Otherwise, the audio you hear is straight out of the Audio-Techica BP40. If you are interested in this mic, there's a link below to get you to it quickly.

No two microphones are quite the same which can make choosing one to use for your podcast an exciting adventure. However, to many podcasters, the mic doesn't matter. And to some extent that is kind of, sort of true in a way. But there are other factors that should come into play in your decision to purchase a microphone and most of them have nothing to do with the mic itself. In this episode of Good Podcasting, Brian shares four tips to help podcasters choose the right microphone.
