Getting the Right Audio Gear with Ryan White

I’m ending this season of How I Built It by geeking out about audio stuff with my guest, Ryan White. He’s the US Product Specialist for Rode Microphones – a company that makes great gear, and who has an increasingly bigger presence in the podcasting space. We talk gear, room acoustics, and more. AND you can hear their newest product, the Rodecaster Pro, in action (if there’s anything to hear, that is). All of that and more, after a word from our sponsors.

Intro: Hey, everybody. I am ending this season, and this year of How I Built It by geeking out about audio stuff with my guest, Ryan White. I met Ryan at Podcast Movement, and he is the US product specialist for RØDE Microphones, a company that makes great gear and who has an increasingly bigger presence in the podcasting space. I thought this was appropriate because I have focused a lot of my own year on podcasting, launching my own course, and my own service, which you’ll probably hear more about in the coming weeks or months. So I wanted to end with some information about how you can start your own podcast, room acoustics, and stuff like that. We talk gear, room acoustics, and more, and you can hear their newest product. That is if you can hear their newest product. The RØDECaster Pro in action, and again that’s if there’s anything to hear. Of course, if you want to learn more about podcasting in general, you can head over to the show notes for this page. HowIBuilt.it/149, there will be a free PDF podcast workbook that you can download. But we’ll get into everything that we talk about with Ryan, and more, after a word from our sponsors.
