Show Prep - Podcasters' Roundtable

Uploaded April 2016 | Updated September 2026, 5 days ago

How much preparation do you do before an episode? Some podcasters write out their entire show, some create an outline and some do no prep at all. What works for you and how do you decide how much work you do before you turn on the mic.?

Join Ray Ortega, Daniel J. Lewis, Dave Jackson, Jay Soderberg, Joe Stuber and others to discuss podcast prep.

This Round will be live (03/31/16) at 4:30pm PDT, 7:30pm EDT.

$My First Wireless Mic vs Now! 6x the Features, 1/6th the Cost The SmallRig S70 costs six times less than the Sennheiser EW100G2 but does a lot more. You get built-in EQ, a safety track, noise reduction, dual-channel recording, and a truly cable-free setup. High-quality audio is extremely more affordable than it once was. When I started out in video production, buying professional wireless audio meant saving up for a big investment like the classic Sennheiser EW100G2. Today, the landscape is entirely different. A modern budget microphone like the SmallRig S70 costs about six times less than that legacy gear, yet it does far more out of the box. Discover what modern, budget-friendly wireless tech actually brings to the table for a fraction of the price. Instead of just transmitting a signal, these compact units feature built-in EQ presets, a safety track to protect against audio clipping, and three levels of active noise reduction. They support dual-channel recording for two-person interviews and plug directly into either a camera or a phone. Best of all, they eliminate the tethered lavalier wire entirely, allowing you to just clip on the transmitter and start recording immediately. The SmallRig S70 is the latest microphone Im using to get clean, professional audio in my videos. If youre looking for solution for great, wireless audio without spending hundreds of dollars the S70 is the perfect place to start.
