I started a podcast.

I started a podcast and I’m not sure it’s going to be very good, but it has a strong meaning behind it. It’s all about networking and helping people find contacts in the music business. Not going to say the name of it because I try to keep myself strictly anonymous on here. The only 2 issues I’ve been running into are where to record so I have better sound (because I tried my closet and my internet crapped out twice), and getting people to be guests. I have contacts in the music business because I started in music when I was 10 playing the cello, and my contacts have contacts…the only problem is getting them when they have time in their schedules. I need to make this podcast regular if it’s going to succeed, because I want to help people by connecting them with the contacts they need. I believe it’s a great idea, but am scared that it won’t get the boost it needs. Any advice?

My wife is going to be starting her own podcast on automotive history in a while, it's an intensively researched scripted podcast so a different deal. I also am tryna set up a small studio space in my home.

So you need a real recording space if you want to do this. Acoustic panels aren't expensive but if you wanna get cheap or free or you can use egg cartons on the walls or even just hang clothes and sheets so you aren't hiding in your closet.

You also need a decent microphone (blue yetis are good and not crazy expensive) and then to spend some time on audacity editing to get the sound up to snuff.

@CountScrofula Decent microphone-absolutely.
