Thank you! Have just come from other how-to videos that were nowhere near as efficient, specific, and actually in-depth as yours. Great video.

Quick question: could you please do a video on how to "merge" YouTube and podcasting for those who want to bounce engagement off of both platforms? For example, your setup, camera, editing etc

[TrishanaRenay]

Thank you! I've been fighting against my anxiety for a long time to start a podcast. I believe I have information and great advice to share (I'm very good at helping small businesses)... I have no clue about the tools and equipment I'll need but your video has helped! Thanks so much 🥺 I hope I don't chicken out!!

This video provides a guide for beginners on how to start a podcast. The first section covers equipment, with the recommendation to invest in a microphone for better audio quality, particularly a dynamic microphone that can capture good audio even in less than ideal recording conditions. The Samson q2u is recommended as a budget microphone that is flexible with both USB and XLR outputs. The Shure mv7 is also recommended as a step up in quality, but with the downside of a less effective pop filter. The Shure sm7b is the highest tier recommendation for podcasters, though it is expensive and only has an XLR output. The second section covers software, with the recommendation to use a digital audio workstation (DAW) for editing and recording. The third section covers hosting, with the recommendation to use a hosting service that offers analytics and distribution to major podcast platforms. The final section covers promotion, with the recommendation to use social media and guest interviews to gain listeners. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive guide for beginners on the essential equipment, software, hosting, and promotion aspects of starting a podcast.

This was the beginners' podcast video I needed! Thank you.

[JayRedding_]

Good video. Very clearly explained. Broken down step by step.I like Audacity too. It's very easy to use.

Newscasters, talk shows all use clip on lavaliers or overhead mics and podcasters use mic's on boom stands. Why? I shoot on simple 3-way wireless mic's without stands. No clutter.

Myself and a friend do a side by side in person podcast using a FIFINE K669B USB. We are new to podcasting and the sound is good for one of us but not both.

I wanted to start since long but again lack of knowledge I was hesitant to start but now it’s great video I need little more information about camera setup and using same podcast in video shape for YouTube

[jackconnors]

Your content production value is way above your subscriber count - excited to see that number grow! What makes the Vocaster a better option over the cheaper Scarlett 2i2?

I love how everyone kinda follows the same flow when setting up podcasts. Most videos all use the same equipment.

[clearfield]

oh dear. I am less concerned about equipment, not sure how I can do my podcast where I am playing clips of videos (news) and commenting on them. How can I do that?

[treviliahodge]

So good. Thanks. I like how fast you talk.
