Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

Hey, Podcasters!

Our team is prepping for Podcast Movement next month, which has my brain in full conference mode. One of our most asked questions at conferences actually isn't about Buzzsprout, it's about podcasting equipment!

Podcasters want to know if the gear they are using is "right," and while the best equipment for one podcaster might not be the same for another, there are some common themes that can make a big difference. So today, we're going all in on one topic: podcast equipment. Let’s get to it!

The Best Gear for Any Budget

As the podcast industry continues to grow, so do the podcast equipment offerings. And while it is great to see so many companies investing in the podcasting space, it can be tough to know what products are right for you!

This week on Buzzcast, the team is sharing their favorite podcasting equipment after hitting 500k downloads. They share why they still prefer dynamic microphones, what products are luxury vs necessity, and how to get the most out of your recording space.

That's why I always recommend this ​podcast equipment guide​ from our Head of Marketing, Alban Brooke. He breaks down two setups that he has used to record over 500 podcast episodes and explains why these products work for him!
