Forced out of the same room by COVID-19, the hosts prove you can still make a high-quality podcast from home. In this episode, we breaks down remote podcast recording basics: gear, software, and workflow, so beginners and pros alike can keep turning out studio-quality shows. 

We also cover what to do when your internet connection or wi-fi flakes out, why headphones matter, and how to salvage quality recordings from a shaky recording session with remote guests or a phone call.

Expect practical tips for remote interviews, video conferencing, video recording, even a quick nod to live streaming or launching a video podcast if that fits your podcast production goals. We run through podcast recording software settings, transcription options, and a smooth podcast editing workflow so your podcast episodes still sound like the best podcast you can make.

Then we pivot to Google’s brand-new Google Podcasts app for iPhone—why it launched on iOS first, how the search function handles show notes, links, and Spotify-style limitations, what’s missing (CarPlay, playlists, gated RSS feeds), and what this means for podcast hosting, discovery, and cross-platform listening.

Highlights:

• Remote podcast recording 101: mics, local recording, remote recording software, and quality recordings without the studio.
• Double-ender explained (and why SquadCast automates the hard parts).
• Quick fixes for echo and background noise when you can’t be in-person.
• Managing audio files, post-production, and keeping high-quality audio with limited internet.
• First impressions of Google Podcasts on iPhone—and how podcasters can use it to reach new listeners.

If you’re adjusting your workflow, dealing with remote recording tools, or just trying to keep your intro tight while your kids crash the call, this episode will help you keep creating a high-quality podcast that serves your audience.
