Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about pre-recording practicalities. This is the less glamorous but still vitally important side of recording. Your gear and environment aren’t the only factors that’ll determine whether you sound like a seasoned pro or a complete beginner. As the old saying goes - “failing to prepare is preparing to fail”. Or, here’s a good one to test your mic’s pop filter - “prior preparation prevents poor performance.” On the next few episodes, we’ll take a look at things like mic technique, minimising interruptions, and even how what you eat or drink can affect your show’s audio quality. Finally, we always love to hear your feedback on Pocket-Sized Podcasting. What do you like about the show? And what might we do to make it even better?
