A big question in the podcasting arena is, “What equipment do you use?” Well, our show didn’t start out as a podcast. It started out as a live online radio show. So, we probably have more equipment than most podcasts. We have been using Zencastr, Skype for our interviews most of the time by implementing a mix-minus setup. We have also used Free Conference Call.
Our Sound Equipment Consists of the following:
