Scott focuses less on specific brands and more on categories you need dialed in for pro‑quality audio:
- A good microphone (your most important piece of gear)
- Closed‑back headphones to monitor and improve your recordings
- Pop filter and shock mount to cut plosives and vibrations
- Sound‑dampening materials (foam, rugs, curtains) to reduce echo and room noise
- Comfortable, quiet podcasting space with decent lighting (especially if on video)
For software, Scott suggests options like Audacity, GarageBand, Adobe Audition, Descript, Hindenburg, RiversideFM, and SquadCast, depending on your budget and workflow.
Do you want recommendations for a specific budget (starter vs pro) or for solo vs interview shows?
