Let's be honest, podcasting is a lot of work - ya, a LOT of work. As a hobby podcaster it's important to make sure that you continue to have fun and that podcasting doesn't become a chore. Since you're spending so much time prepping, recording, editing publishing and repeating, how are you going to keep that fun there? We kick off our new arc this week by discussing having fun with your co-hosts. In the Better Podcasting Download we're pleased to present the debut of the year-in-the-making blind microphone shoot-out/test, featuring the Behringer XM1800S, Shure SM58, Audio-Technica AT2005, Audio-Technica ATR2100, the Blue Encore 100 and the Sennheiser e835.
