In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m taking you through my journey of improving the audio quality on the CyberGuardians podcast. From inconsistent episodes to gear upgrades, I talk about what I’ve learned using different types of microphones—including dynamic and condenser mics—and the pros and cons of each.

I’ll break down how bitrate affects audio clarity, why your editing software matters, and what mistakes I’ve made (like recording with mics on shaky tables without shock mounts 😅). Whether you’re a fellow podcaster or just curious about how great sound comes together, this episode is for you.

🎧 Topics covered:

• Dynamic vs. condenser microphones

• Traveling and recording on-the-go

• Bitrate and sound clarity

• The importance of editing tools

• My personal setup journey and lessons learned

Let’s get into the sound science behind CyberGuardians.
