Learn what equipment to buy.

Buy the Right Podcast Equipment

Thank you for signing up for our mailing list!

This is what you can expect:

Below is a complete list of my recommended podcast equipment options. You can use the links below or copy the equipment name and search for it at your favorite store. However, you may still have some additional questions before buying anything.

This leads me to my second point. The email series you’re about to receive covers the basics of all of the equipment in about 7 separate emails. If you would like even more information, you can contact me at my personal site, jefflarge.com/contact or go to my agency’s site, comealivecreative.com.

Did you stumble across this page without signing up for the mailing list? It’s not necessary, but it is helpful. It covers things like knowing what questions to ask to get the right equipment, a basic overview of all the equipment, and the next best steps once you have the equipment.
