I go into a lot of detail on my podcast tech stack in this article: The Power of Podcasts as a Marketing Tool
but here is the gist of it:
Mic: Started with an ATR2100 which was great for a long time, but then upgraded to a Blue Yeti with a boom stand and pop filter.
Recording: If it's a solo episode, I use a Mac program called Audio Hijack. If its an interview, I use Zencastr.
Editing: For quick edits I use Descript if I'm doing it myself, but this is usually outsourced to an audio engineer.
Hosting: Libsyn for Growth Marketing Toolbox and Buzzsprout for Learn Growth Marketing. If I had to do it again, I'd go with Buzzsprout all the way.
Website: I use this handy app called Podcastpage to create a site for one of my shows that automatically updates. It's really cool.
One piece of advice I have is to invest in a professional intro/outro with some nice music and a voiceover. Really adds a level of professionalism to a show.
Thanks as always, Nicholas!
For our podcast https://www.theprocessisblackandwhite.com/ we use https://tryca.st/ for recording and hosting. The site is Gatsby. We don't have special headphones or microphones but keep talking about getting them.
I like Gatsby because it's a fun platform to build on. Trycast is a good fit for us because getting started was so easy.
Mic: 3x Shure SM7B with Trition fethead
Recording: Adobe Audition
Editing: Adobe Audition
Hosting: Anchor
Promo video: Adobe Premiere Pro
And here's a link to my podcast Beter dan Koffie!. It's a Dutch podcast where we define problems with guests with expertise in a niche and brainstorm about possible solutions (problem-solution fit in a podcast).
Thank you Jopha! Looks like you're an Adobe fan there.
I host Negocios Online. it's similar to the Indie Hackers podcast but in Spanish.
Thanks Gabriel for sharing!
What's the reason for own solution?
Will move the site to my own solution since I want to dogfood my product.
I'm just about to finish a new feature that creates a podcast site for you under your own domain.
I'm the host of The Audience Explorer, a podcast about audience development for entrepreneurs and creators. My tech stack:
Thank you for sharing, Matthias!
Zencastr and Descript help me a lot.
Thanks!
I'm a co-host of the AstronautiCAST Italian space podcast. Our tech stack:
Thanks Paolo, fun podcast theme. How're you liking Streamyard?
Fun indeed, the sky is literally the limit.
I love StreamYard. It has a key feature we use a lot, optionally playing the audio of windows or tabs when screensharing. This allows, for example, to stream prerecorded interviews or segments.
However, sometimes arranging a screen layout with many guests is a bit involved and unintuitive. And it would be useful to have a built-in soundboard.
