Episode description
Welcome back to Podtastic Audio, where I share everything I’ve learned on my podcasting journey! In this episode, I dive into my recent podcasting gear upgrades, including the Mac Mini M4 and the Rodecaster Pro 2, and why these tools have transformed my workflow. I reflect on how I started podcasting back in 2019 with minimal equipment, the evolution of my setup, and the sheer joy of creating something out of nothing. Whether you’re a seasoned podcaster or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights to help you create a show you’re proud of.
