Recording a podcast series at home might cost a little less, but it comes with a whole host of problems and ultimately creates a false economy.
You’ve got an idea for creating a podcast series.
And now you’re thinking about your options on how to create it.
One of your options is, of course, to buy all the equipment yourself and record your podcasts at home.
However, while a home-based podcast recording might save you a little in terms of upfront costs, it ultimately creates a false economy.
Today we weigh up your options.
Sound quality at home
One of the most important things to get right is the sound quality; sound quality issues on a podcast are an instant turn off.
Writing on LinkedIn, business journalist, editor and audio producer Stephen Lacey warns, “It doesn’t matter how passionate you are about the subject, it’s pretty hard to stay tuned if the levels are too low, the interview subject is scratchy, or the host’s microphone sounds like it was purchased from Fisher-Price.”
He adds, “Quality is everything. It’s what separates the top 20% of podcasts from the rest.”
Recording a podcast at home is challenging because you can’t control your surroundings.
An ambulance siren wailing in the background? Picked up on your home microphone.
Kids playing and screaming in the front garden? Picked up on your microphone.
