Episode #014 – The Game-Changing ‘Call Me’ Feature for Rodecaster Pro 2 & Duo


Are you podcasting with co-hosts or guests located miles away and wish you could sound like you’re in the same room—without breaking the bank? In this episode, Dave Jackson dives into Rode’s newest update: the ‘Call Me’ feature for the Rodecaster Pro 2 and the Rodecaster Duo. 


Dave shares his hands-on experience with the new feature, how it dramatically improves remote audio quality, and why it might be a game changer for podcasters who value seamless, pro-sounding remote interviews.


Key Topics & Takeaways


Rodecaster Pro 2 vs. Duo

 - Pro 2 supports up to 4 mics and a computer connection (great for multi-host podcasts, $700).

 - Duo is more compact, supports 2 mics (ideal for solo hosts or single co-hosts, $500).

 - Both now come in black and white!


What is ‘Call Me’?

 - Lets you connect seamlessly with remote co-hosts or guests.

 - Offers crystal clear audio, much closer to “in the same room” quality than usual online calls.

 - Simple to use: Click, type in a code, and connect—no software needed for guests!

 - Works best when both parties have a Rodecaster, but web guests can join too.


Perfect for Live Shows—with Special Instructions

 - Great for live streaming (YouTube, Facebook, etc.), but be aware of streaming delays.

 - Listeners joining live must mute the broadcast tab to avoid echoes and awkward silences.

 - Dave shares tips for educating callers to avoid common live podcast mishaps.


Cost & Value

 - ‘Call Me’ is free for one guest at a time.

 - Want multiple remote guests? Plans start at about $10/month for extra connections.

 - Note: The cost of the Rodecaster hardware itself (Pro 2 or Duo) is the main investment.


Dave’s Verdict

 - The new feature floored him with its simplicity and sound quality!

 - Bonus tip: His preferred vendor, Sweetwater, provides extended warranty, tech support, and even candy in the box.
