“You need to get a baseline standard of quality where it can’t sound worse than a Zoom call. Get something that works,” says Matt Saincome, co-founder of popular satire website The Hard Times and co-host of The Hard Times Podcast. “If you have the content, if it’s recorded through your phone built-in mic and people are liking it, that’s all that matters at the end of the day,” says Peña. Those early recordings served as the starting point for Gamertag Radio, which currently has millions of lifetime listeners and has attracted guests from all over the gaming and entertainment industry. The veteran podcaster’s origins are as DIY as it gets - he recorded his first shows using everything from cassette tapes to the original Xbox’s built-in voice chat and his laptop’s integrated microphone before eventually upgrading to better gear for both on-location and at-home recordings. “Create content with whatever equipment that you have at the moment,” says Peña. According to several pro podcasters we spoke to, getting your content out there with whatever equipment you have handy is one of the most important parts of figuring out how to make a great show - not spending a ton of cash on fancy equipment. While the gear we’ve outlined above is a great baseline for getting quality audio and video, you don’t need to spend much money (or any at all) to get your podcast started.
