My Podcasting Setup

I have detailed my writing process quite a bit lately, but that made me realize I have never pulled all the pieces of my podcasting setup together. Let's change that.

Equipment

I did a lot of research on beginners microphones before I started podcasting and although there are better ones out there, I landed on the Rode Podcaster. I have a dream of upgrading to a Beta 87 at some point, but this does a great job for now. Altogether here's what I'm using:

Software

I have been a subscriber to the Adobe Creative Cloud for a while now and really enjoy the power of their tools.

Hosting

In my opinion, the gold standard for hosting your files is Libsyn. It just works and I've never had an issue with them. My feed is a custom XML file generated with Jekyll. If you are a Jekyll user and want to run a podcast, you can get the source code for this here.
