Best Microphone/Mixer Setup for A Killer Pro-Level Podcast:
Rodecaster Pro Mixer: amzn.to/3HfABhB
Shure SM7B: amzn.to/36iLs6w (The Joe Rogan Mic)
Microphone Cables: amzn.to/3GUqZYe
Slightly Cheaper but all fantastic Mics:
Heil PR-40: amzn.to/2LDN413
Heil PR-35: amzn.to/3e2m3jR
Shure SM58: amzn.to/36bS6v6
Or, buy a kit with the Rodecaster, Rode Mics, and Microphone Cables:
amzn.to/3iRujeU
If you’re on a serious budget and just want a USB Mic that sounds a million times better than a Blue Yeti, try this one:
Audio Technica ATR-2100 amzn.to/3WlurAX
Or this one:
Samson Q2U: amzn.to/3ZFoiT7
With the above mics, they can plug directly into your computer. However, you’ll need some software like GarageBand or Logic to record the podcast.

Everything you presented is right on the money. As a retired broadcaster and now teaching Video Production and Sound Design, this is professionally presented solid information. I'll be including links to this RUclips video and your podcast to my students to use as resource material. Thanks
This is a big reason why I am such a huge fan of teaching entrepreneurs how to land interviews on other podcasts...way easier, way less time consuming, and you build your reach and authority WAY faster.
just learned more about interviewing ppl from this one video than from one year of tv internship! Thanks for being so on point!
This is the first time I’ve watched a video from you and I don’t even have a podcast yet, but this was very valuable information for my future podcast. Super helpful!!
Thank you so much for watching! More to come!
Make one!
Thank you so much, Michael! I just discovered you. I loved these tips. I am just over 100 episodes into my podcast and recently realized that I need to promote my guest plugs upfront, I started calling it "tools up front" and then also at the end and do a screenshare highlihging their site, socials and products.
Great presentation! clear / concise / interesting / helpful / thank you Michael
I have researched my area of expertise for 50+ years, wrote a 389-page self-published Training Manual, and am just beginning to prepare for an initial 19 podcast video series --- I want to get beyond the seven episodes -- THIS PODCAST HELPS
Love love love the 8-Mile Technique! I am a total newbie and already learned a lot from you. I shared your technique with my podcast group. Thank you.
You're quite welcome!
HI all. Thanks for watching this (free) video. I hope you got something out of it. My gain was hot in this video (I'm well aware...thanks to all that have commented) because a cord had knocked the knob on the zoom H6 and they are SUPER sensitive. As you can see, I'm not wearing in-ears or headphones, so I didn't notice it until post-production, and I didn't feel like re-recording the whole thing. I thought "Hey...people will appreciate the tips and not care about a bit of clipping". Alas...it's RUclips, and everyone needs to make their presence known. Anyway, I hope you appreciate the effort in lighting, camera quality, and content, and can see past the clipping. Peace.
Guess Im too inexperienced to understand what the problem was. Didnt hear any issues! What is gain anyway???? Thought it was your muscles🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL @ "Alas its RUclips" I THINK THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO.
Nesia Mbow so you like muscles huh? 😂
I appreciate the tips, but I totally disagree on avoiding condenser microphones. It may hear a mouse fart in the next county with the gain all the way up, but then it may just sound like hissy background noise garbage anyway. With the gain turned down on the interface a pop filter and a relatively cheap mic delivers just awesome sound, especially at the proximity you're using your mic with, and even typing on cherry mx blues under it is tolerable. If it's quiet I just up it in post with a few decibels and it's smooth as butter.
I'm talking usb interface+XLR condenser mic, haven't tried USB ones, so the yetis may well be doorstops for all I know though.
Loránd Abos The problem is, 95% of the people are not in an environment where they can use one in a quiet way.
I watched your video to prepare for being interviewed on a podcast and it helped SO much! Thanks!
great help, im currently in the baby steps of setting up a podcast, you are a saint, brilliant video thank you bud.
Thank you SO much for posting this, although it's 2020 when I'm seeing it, just watching this for 15 minutes upped my professionalism in ways I never thought of before.
Awesome jason, thanks!
Damn this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank goodness I didn’t drop the ball on all of your points but I struggle with following up on questions where my guest has maybe experienced trauma or a life changing event. It seems like such a touchy area but absolutely have to close that question with something sincere and light/positive. Thank you! 🙏
Yea, it's the art isn't it? The good (or bad, depending on your perspective) news is...we've all gone through some shiz. So we can acknowledge that and move on.
this was very helpful, thanks!. I did hear the high gain, but I just tuned down the volume and problem fixed, no biggie.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Your advice particularly pertaining to guest is something super easy to overlook but makes a huge difference in their comfort & the quality of discussion. I really liked the tips about the 8 mile method, we don't do traditional interview podcast but this still applies to a degree. The 15% completion statistic was a little shocking and I will definitely keep that in mind moving forward, thanks Michael! Great video!
Dude! You are pure money!!! Thank you. I’m saving this episode.
Thank you Kenneth!
Good call Kenneth
Blue Yeti microphones are just fine and can and will get the job done with good audio quality. You can always edit out that mouse fart in post production. lol
Also when you hit record allow the mic to pick up at least 15-20sec of ambient sound before you start talking. This way you can get a ambient sound sample for a noise profile when it comes to noise reduction. Also a program called voicemeter can also help with audio quality and serves as a audio mixer.
Agreed...but that's more work for a casual podcaster. No need to go through the effort if you have a dynamic mic. Good tips though!
Make a video, seriously. 👍
Black and Abroad in Asia learn how to mix
Black and Abroad in Asia a lot of people use yetis and they work well you just don’t know what you’re doing bro
Black and Abroad in Asia i took a listen to your most recent upload and i can hear a very clear difference between the quality of that samson and a yeti, and the yeti definitely wins. my advice is practice mixing more
Spot on advice! I love the 8 mile technique and letting the audience know where they can find the guests from the beginning, Tom Ferris does that, I hadn’t considered that most people don’t listen all the way to the end credits!
Awesome video you recorded Michael, thank you so much! I had just started a podcast and have been making upgrades as I go along, better mic, working an intro with music now and then will be working on hosting guests and this video definitely gave me some pointers to improve my podcast. Thank you!
How'd it turn out Eric?
Thank you Michael for this video!
Great video, I got a lot out of it. I've been doing this 10 years & I learned a few new things thank you!
Great! Thanks for staying positive!
I think "mistakes" videos are some of the best tutorial formats. Great real-world application tips. Thanks (from another career drummer/designer)!!
Thanks JJ!
What drums do you have?
I'm so glad I found this video! I love your tips and advice. Your #5 is awesome because it makes the interview feel organic and not like a job interview. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
You're welcome Annette!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Podcast launching this month. Taking notes! This was high quality info. Thank you so much! 💜
This is so incredibly helpful! I am brainstorming and learning more about podcasting, in hopes to start one in the next month or two. Some of these things I would have never even thought of. I’m thankful for your direct honesty, and extremely helpful insight
Thanks mama!! :)
I am brand new to podcasting on a subject I am passionate about. I loved this video, and didn't mind one bit about the hot gain. THANK YOU for the great content. I am planning my first guest in the next month. I appreciate you putting this out there for us newbs.
Thanks! Good luck with the new show!
'It can hear a mouse fart in the next county.' Cracked me up!:D
indeed, funny. anchor.fm/nicetomeetyou
Wow, fantastic pointers. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thank you for the tip. I am at the 22nd show and have been analyzing my podcast and I feel I have no direction with it. Show started good, but people are not listening all the way thru. I definitely know I have some opportunity and the lack of marketing is causing my audience not to grow. The tips are actionable.
Loved this video! Just starting out in the podcasting world and I've been researching information on how to progress at podcasting from audio quality to equipment, software and more. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I will be saving this video to add to my research going forward.
I'm glad William. Good luck with the launch!
Great info! And thank you for the profiles on condenser mics and dynamic mics. Not many "experts" mention these important details.
You're quite welcome.
Been looking to try podcasting and this video was really useful. Thanks!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing the info. You nicely dissected some of the blueprint for a great podcasts.
Thanks!
Excellent advice and suggestions. Miles better than the majority of these 20 minute videos about others' experience and cute little stories. Gracias!!
Very helpful, clear and concise tips. Thank you very much!
My pleasure Michael!
great detailed info . way better than anyone else is giving.....Thanks
Wow. That was good. This was packed with helpful information that I appreciate and will put to immediate use, both as one who will be recording my first guest episode on a podcast this week, and as one gearing up to launch her own podcast in the coming weeks, and looking forward to interviewing her own guests. Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic! Glad you got something out of it, and I appreciate the positivity! (And the subscription...if you did)
Thank you for the advice, especially about introducing the guest and where to find them!!
Thank you so much for this video! I needed to hear this for my own podcast!
Awesome!
Man! some great tips thank-you! I watched this twice and took notes. cant wait to get into more of your stuff!!
Fantastic! Thank you!
This is a lot of great info. I'm just now starting a podcast and this will definitely help. Thanks.

Loved it! You know your material and medium, it was a nice break from people with oodles of enthusiasm but not much to impart. I also appreciated the lack of background music.
8 Episodes in, we are guilty of #2, but we are working towards dramatically improving our hardware which will improve our audio. Thanks for the tips.
This is awesome thank you
Thank you so much! I appreciate this. I am launching my podcast on November 8. this is useful information espeically on the audio quality!!

You're quite welcome! Here's a kit that has a pop filter and boom arm if you want to show me some affiliate love. :) amzn.to/2Xkpkr6
Michael… I’m two years late but good job. I knew the stuff you said because I’ve been doing radio for decades but it was great to hear it validated that you have to - in short - respect your audience and respect your guest.
Indeed Angelino!
This was really really good. Short, concise. Thank you!
Thanks Mynoucka!

Wow this is amazing, added it to my playlist
Thanks Jamie! I appreciate you staying positive, and the sub!
Wow! I love your tips! Thank you.
Quite welcome Hugot!
8 mile tip, brilliant. Thank you. ❤️
I subscribed at the 8-Mile technique explanation and saved the video to re-reference later at the interview techniques part. Haven't heard anyone talk about more advanced interview techniques and that was awesome! I'll be back for more, regardless of audio quality or not plugging yourself as your own guest until after I had stopped listening ;)
Fantastici! I have a course about high level interviewing at artoftheinterview.co if you're interested!
Great tips, thanks!
Thanks!!! This is an excellent video! Your plugging tip was spot on!!! I'll give you a shout out for the inspiration once we launch!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
Let me know Wallace! Good luck with the launch!
