The best video podcast video I've ever seen! Thanks Parker, keep documenting the journey

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 392 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessonsÀ we that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

After researching for days as to what is needed for a podcast: you, by far have the best, most informative explanation of what needs to be done to bring a podcast to fruition… thank you for an awesome, informative video!

[RealScienceRadio]

I've watched dozens of these video podcast setup guides, and this one is the best, thanks a ton!

[martijnvaassen]

Great video! The one thing I noticed is that when you're using compression in the Dynamics effect, the gain reduction meter isn't moving, meaning you're actually not compressing. Dial down the threshold for the compressor to actually start working.

We're thinking about starting a podcast and I've been going through a lot of videos. Yours is probably the best. Thanks!

Blackmagic Cameras are also great for multi cameras podcast since they come with their chargers (you can directly plug them) and also you can modify color, light... in the Atem switcher

17:23 LOL "that's alot of people " 🤣 very awesome video Parker, I liked that not only you mention different budgets for starting a podcast, you showed them and USED them for us viewers, not everyone does that.

[AndrewFinney]

Thank you Parker! I'm looking forward to watching this one in more detail in a bit.

[andreasr.deolinda]

Honestly the best video ever!!! To think I searched for so long for something like this

[nukeninstudios]

Great video, Great value. thank you parker for always bringing such high quality helpful videos.🍪

[sebastianmm]

Great job - informative video.
Only one suggestion: use multi cam editing. Especially if you edit 3 or more cams in a longer video this is very helpful :)

[Akimbo]

this is by far the clearest explanation i've watched so far.

[TheJewellian]

your videos are possibly the most instructive and high quality out there

[CharlestonGreenwood-oimv]

Deserves a millions of subs. The best yet. Thanks!

[UrbanCraftTv]

Looking forward to start a podcast and sincerely speaking, this video is enough inspiration.

[framebuyframe]

Excellent and comprehensive video. I like the comparison of the mics and the audio interfaces especially.

[TinaOnyeSolutions-vpsq]

Pretty much on point!! Some of those lighting techniques are a bit excessive for a podcast but it really depends on your setup and what you're going for! Excellent foundational video though!
