Bingeing this podcast for most of the day today, and you knocked me off my feet when you mentioned the Zoom H4NPro as an attainable yep powerful recording device (no affiliate link below). I’ve had a handful of clients using that exact device with great success. I dream of producing a podcast that champions the passionate, but not lottery winning podcast enthusiasts who are looking for the tips and tricks to get on to the same playing field as the big podcast houses. Because it’s very very possible. And your podcast is lending its expertise to just this crowd! A+ Travis!
Please Please Resurrect.
