What gear, software and services would you purchase if you were starting your first podcast? Find out what experienced podcasters +David Jackson  +Daniel J. Lewis  +Jeffrey Bradbury  and myself (Ray Ortega) would purchase if we were starting our first show and had the knowledge we now possess after years of producing podcasts. Based on experience in podcast production, we'll take a mock budget and spend it on what we think are the most valuable items for starting a podcast. If you're starting your first podcast, thinking about starting a podcast or have been podcasting for years, join us in the chat to discuss where you'd put your money. Would you spend most of your budget on a microphone or buy something cheaper and invest in software? Should you skip paid hosting and buy a mixer?
