Ask Megan:

"Hey, I have been podcasting for a few years now, and I'm trying to keep my show engaging. What can I do to keep my show feeling fresh over time?"

Great question! A fresh format usually comes down to structure with flexibility. That means having a consistent core, like a recognizable intro, segment flow, or recurring theme, but giving yourself room to experiment within that framework.

Try mixing things up with new segment ideas, guest types, or episode lengths. Even small changes like asking a different opening question or switching where you place a story in the episode can make things feel new without losing what listeners love about your show.

Also, pay attention to your own curiosity. If you’re feeling energized by a new topic or format twist, your audience probably will too.

Ask Megan

"Hi, Megan, do you have any tips for recording in an open space like an expo hall?"

We recommend using a dynamic microphone if you can, like the Samson Q2U or Shure MV7, and get nice and close to the mic.

If the final audio needs a little polishing, ​Magic Mastering​ can help smooth it out and give it that finished sound without a ton of editing.
