Here's a recent review on Apple Podcasts:

Great podcast very informative..

I've just recently found this incredible podcast. I have a small YouTube channel and I'm looking to launch a podcast to carry our message further. Great intro makes me think of the "Night at the Roxberry". Not very long though 20-30 mins but full of info. They have covered just about everything I'm dealing with my podcast.

Best Podcast Interview Software To Record Remotely

There are a number of different services that will let you record remote conversations.

Skype is a popular way to conduct online interviews and there are several ways to record Skype calls.

The issue with Skype is that sound quality is poor, even if all parties have great internet connections.

The good news is that there are excellent alternatives to Skype that let you record remote podcast interviews.

These also work well if you co-host is in another location and you can’t physically record in the same space.

One of the main benefits of most of these services is that they record the audio locally for each person. That means that even if there are issues with your internet connection during the call, the audio quality stays high.

Best Pop Filters For Recording Vocals 2019

Pop filters do what their name suggests – they reduce or eliminate popping sounds.

In natural speech, certain letters tend to cause your mouth and breath to produce fast-moving air. These plosives typically come from the letters P, T, and K.

Try saying the word “podcast” or “pop filter” while holding your hand in front of your mouth – you’ll feel the air.

This air can easily overwhelm a microphone, causing distortion and clipping.

We definitely don’t want that.

Best WordPress Hosting Sites For Podcasters & Bloggers 2019

I consistently recommend having your WordPress site separate from your podcast host. I have briefly highlighted a few of my favorite web hosting companies for WordPress, but I wanted to go a little deeper and give you my full list of recommendations.

I’ll recommend website and WordPress hosts that have proven to work well for podcasters and bloggers. I have personally used all but two of them.

The prices tend to vary by how many resources they allocate to you and how many additional features are included. Things that tend to increase the price and performance are RAM, CPU, SSD vs HDD, CDNs, staging sites, WordPress optimization, and more.

I have found that a little extra cost not only allows your site to handle more users but also makes it easier to manage, saving you time.
