This episode outlines the best practices for recording good audio for yourself, your guest, and your co-host(s). And yes, Jerod Morris and Jon Nastor have addressed this topic before, but never quite like this …
This week’s episode begins with a callback to last week, as Jerod notes a massive bit of irony that came out of the episode about when to use scripts (and when not to).
Then Jerod and Jon dive into this week’s main topic, prefacing it by explaining how it seems like they’ve been getting an inordinate amount of questions about this lately.
They discuss:
- Why you shouldn’t panic yet if you notice an issue after recording (You may be able to correct it in post-production.)
- The importance of focusing on simplicity and lowering the barriers for your guest to come on your show
- Why Skype, warts and all, is still the best option for podcast interviews
- A few tips for overcoming inevitable Skype issues
- Jon’s surprising system for doing pre-interview audio checks
- When the time is right to invest in a better microphone for people on your show
- How to handle mid-interview audio hiccups
