The RØDE NTH-Mic (or the RØDE NTH-100M if you buy it in a package with the RØDE NTH-100 headphones) is a smart addition to the NTH-100 headphones, as it turns them into a headset. While it is advertised to be plugged directly into your computer's 3.5mm port using the supplied new TRRS cable, I actually think there's a way better option to use it to its full potential. Watch/Listen to this episode to learn how!

In this video podcast episode I'll explain why I keep recommending either of these 2 microphones for anyone who's just starting their podcasting or YouTube journey.

In this video-podcast episode I am comparing the SE Electronics Dynacaster dynamic broadcast microphone (the DCM8 model) versus the Shure SM7B and the Electro-Voice RE 320 - and there's a reason why I've picked these 2 microphones to stack up the SE Dynacaster against. :)

(This is a video podcast!) There are 400+ audio interfaces on the market and it is getting increasingly difficult to select which interface is right for recording a podcast. As podcasters, we have specific needs when it comes to our audio interfaces, but the retailer's catalogs do not support filtering for these requirements. This tier list aims to give clarity about which is the best "budget" USB audio interface on the market today (early 2023) for podcast recording.

With Youtube's podcasting endeavours starting to bloom and Spotify allowing it's podcasters in certain countries to upload video podcast, it is increasingly becoming relevant to at least start thinking about making video podcasts.  Doing so requires - first - a good camera. Recently, the best beginner camera is hyped to be the Sony ZV-E10, and for good reasons. It shoots in 4k (downsampled from 6k), it does not overheat, has no recording limit and offers a really snappy and reliable face/eye detection autofocus, which make it an ideal beginner's camera. However, the face/eye detection autofocus can in certain specific cases let you down: you have to make some sacrifices to use it. There are 6 cases, when you will not be able to use it: this podcast lists these cases and why they are important.

Starting a podcast is a lot of fun, however while many will tell you that you can do that just by grabbing your phone and a headset, I actually think it is slightly more complex - from researching to making your podcast discovered you will have 11 different jobs to accomplish before your podcast shows up on Spotify or on Apple Podcasts. Don't worry though, you will not have to excel in all of them (or in any of them in fact) but that does not save you from executing these roles. :)

In the second episode of Record-to-Report (which is a more podcast-style series on the PodcastMeister Channel that aims to air more consistently in between full videos) I'm ranting about USB microphones that were announced recently with rather big hype - whereas I think they are no good fit for podcasters. I also reveal my recommendation instead of (most of) them.  Enjoy! #podcasting #podcast #microphone #rodemics #rodeconnect

Record-to-Report is a new series on the PodcastMeister YouTube channel, that you can also follow in podcast format (links below). The series aims to fill the consistency gap in between more detailed review episodes, talking about various topics around podcasting: news, gear, features, predictions, ideas.  This episodes discusses the announcement of Røde Headphones and the suspicious Rødecaster "Series" menu on Røde's website.
