Next month, I'm headed to Orlando for CreatorHub Live, but first—I'm on a mission that's equal parts MacGyver and audio nerd. I'm torturing inexpensive microphones and wrestling with budget gear to see just how far these scrappy little devices can be pushed before they cry uncle.
Because here's my philosophy: the barrier to entry in podcasting shouldn't be your bank account. Your voice matters more than your gear budget, and I'm on a mission to prove that diamonds in the rough exist in the sub-$100 audio world. I’m throwing myself on the sword of subpar equipment so you don't have to.
I’m also testing out some new ways to connect and communicate. My brilliant pal Mat and his partners over at Conntap.com are doing things with NFC tags that would make a tech wizard weep with joy. We're talking "wait-you-can-DO-that?" level innovation. I’m learning how to make these tiny chips perform digital magic tricks that'll blow your mind sideways.
Stay tuned for the full equipment autopsy report in a future video, complete with battle scars, surprising victories, and probably at least one spectacular failure that'll make us all laugh.*
*Yeah, that already happened. Turns out the mic I used to record this video is not good for fidgety hand-talkers. (← Me)
