RESOURCES I RECOMMEND FOR PODCASTING:

1. Acast Podcast hosting – Acast is my recommended podcast host because of multiple reasons. I simply love their support, simplicity, and their monetization feature. You can start for FREE AT https://thepodcastinguniversity.com/go/acast/

2. Behringer Audio Interface – You will need an audio interface if you are using an XLR microphone. This is my recommended audio interface. Check it out at https://amzn.to/3zMbpKU

3. Zencastr – Zencastr is the easiest option to record interviews, both audio-only and audio+video. This is a must for an interview podcast. Go to zencastr.com/pricing and use my code “thepodu”. You’ll get 30 percent off your first three months of Zencastr professional.

4. Audacity – This is the best and the most feature-rich free audio editing software. It gives you a lot of options while editing your interviews.

5. Blue Yeti USB Microphone – My recommended microphone. Check it out at https://amzn.to/3x43Gru

6. Tidycal – My recommended calendar and booking solutions. For a very low and one-time price you can get a calendar solution to plan and stay organized. Check it out at https://thepodcastinguniversity.com/go/tidycal/
