So you're a hobby podcaster and know you have some gear purchasing ambitions, but where do you start? It's been a long time since we ran down podcast gear considerations, and there's been a lot of change in both the gear space, which is why we decided it was time to re-visit the topic. In this episode we'll run down several gear-related categories, recommendations we have within them and some considerations we think you may want to have. Key categories include: Internet connection, computer/mobile device, audio recording equipment and video equipment.
