First episode

Hellozap and I just started practicing. I would I recorded I recorded probably 10, 20 episodes that were terrible before I even liked the sound of my voice, and before I started finding a I recorded dozens of episodes. I recorded dozens of bad episodes that were that have never been released. I recorded dozens of bad episodes that have never been released, but the I recorded dozens of bad episodes that have never been released using this approach, but what it allowed me to do is figure things out. I just kept practicing and practicing until I found content and a format that I felt like was but I just kept practicing over and over again until I found content and a format that connected with an audience.

And you can do that too. When I got started podcasting in 2012, I used this microphone plugged into an iPhone, opened up the voice memos app and just started practicing. And I recorded dozens of episodes that have never seen the light of day because I was practicing. I was trying to find my voice. I was trying to create compelling narratives.

And I would play my audio for different people, and I just kept improving and improving until I felt like I had something that was worth releasing. And I released episodes with this microphone for years before I upgraded to the fancier Shure SM7B and then all of this video equipment. This is still a great sounding microphone. You don't need anything fancy. What you need is practice, and you can start doing that right away.

Voice memos, this microphone, it's all you need.
