OK, you want to start a podcast with multiple guests. Should you only do a podcast if/when everyone can come over your house and gather round the campfire, er, mixer? What are the challenges of that (aside from feeding them for each episode?) How does it work when one or more of your co-hosts and/or guests are several states, or countries away? With a combined experience of about 25 years, Tee and Chuck discuss all of this and more.

Take a look at the microphone set-up here in Imagine That! Studios — there are two Heil microphones, one from MXL, and one from Shure. Aren’t all mics the same? Not quite. Each microphone has its own method to capture sound, and this episode goes into the nuances between two dynamic models: The Heil PR 781 and the Shure SM7B.
Which one do you think suits Tee best? What do you look for in a microphone? Performance? Durability? Or price?

We’re very excited to announce that Podcasting for Dummies 3rd Edition is now available for pre-order on Amazon! We can hardly wait to get it in our hot little hands.
[amazon_link asins=’1119412196′ template=’ProductGrid’ store=’chuckchat-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’8f605789-8c4f-11e7-9a9e-5d137bbb7991′]
Tee Morris and I are rapidly going through the final edits on Podcasting for Dummies 3rd Edition and I have to tell you – this book rocks! I’ll admit that I have not looked at a Dummies book in a while and they certainly cleaned up and modernized the layout. New cover design as well as new internal layout. We’re sure you’re going to love it as much as we do.
We’ve added an entire chapter on mobile podcasting, more up to date information on video, social media, hardware, and hosting. Much of the “tried and true” information is still there to get best practices from us old-timers – including a few new tricks we’ve learned since the 2nd Edition came out in 2008.
Stay tuned!
