According to the episode, starting a podcast doesn't require expensive equipment. The host highlights how advancements in technology, particularly smartphones, have made it possible to record a podcast using just your phone. To achieve good audio quality, the host suggests using corded headphones with a microphone on the cord, which are included with iPhones (apologies to Android users).
As long as the microphone on the headphones is not rubbing against your shirt or hair, it is sufficient for recording a podcast. The host emphasizes the importance of simplicity and reassures listeners that they don't need to invest in fancy equipment like popular podcasters such as Joe Rogan. Furthermore, the host mentions the convenience of platforms like Spotify for podcasters (formerly anchor.fm), which allow users to record and upload directly from the app, eliminating the need for expensive equipment.
QUOTES:
- "but nobody wants to recognize that they see Joe Rogan having a $400 microphone and they're like, I need that when you don't, you just need to keep it simple."
- "Bluetooth will always, almost always disappoint you when it comes to podcasting."
- "That's 10 80 or 4k is more realistic because that's where we're headed anyway."
- "then the camera obviously compliments that whole process and you look good."
- "Hope you're leaving this episode knowing at least one or two things that you did not know about your podcast equipment."
