Bad audio loses listeners faster than weak content does
The equipment bar is low — two microphones and a quiet room — but the priority is often inverted: bad audio loses people regardless of the content, so fix recording and room reflection before worrying about topics. A conversation is easier to sustain than a monologue, which is why most shows are two people. Editing runs two or three times the recording.
First stepWith a friend and two basic mics in a carpeted room, record a twenty-minute conversation and listen back for sound quality before anything else.
