Ready to take your podcast on the road with professional quality? Our latest Autofocus episode unveils the significant upgrades to our mobile recording kits, expanding capabilities from just two people to a full six-person setup without sacrificing audio quality or simplicity.

The heart of this upgrade centers on our innovative approach to wireless microphones. We've successfully combined our four-person Comica system with additional Movo mics, allowing crystal-clear recording of six separate voices without the interference problems that typically plague multi-mic setups.

This breakthrough means you can now record panel discussions, group interviews, and multi-host segments almost anywhere with professional results.

Complementing the audio upgrades are our new 60-inch adjustable Yukos tripods that transform from desktop to standing height in seconds. These affordable yet versatile stands give you endless framing possibilities whether you're shooting seated discussions or standing presentations.

Brooke and Dan share practical insights from real-world use, including a six-person barbershop interview where we developed an efficient camera setup and editing workflow that anyone can replicate.

What hasn't changed is our commitment to accessibility. These kits remain incredibly user-friendly—no video expertise required. If you can operate a smartphone, you can create professional podcast content. The entire system is designed to be as close to plug-and-play as possible while delivering results that will impress your audience.

Check out our expanded options for one, two, four, or six-person kits at podcastvideos.com and take your podcast production to the next level, wherever your stories take you.

Ever struggled with looking directly at your camera while trying to see your remote podcast guest? You're not alone. In this equipment spotlight, Brooke and Dan dive into our latest studio upgrade – a teleprompter that's revolutionizing how our podcasters connect with remote guests.

The problem was simple but frustrating: hosts looking down at their screens to see guests while cameras captured unflattering angles from above. The result? Too many forehead shots and disconnected eye contact that undermined otherwise great conversations.

Our teleprompter solution elegantly mirrors video conferencing platforms directly in front of the camera, allowing hosts to maintain perfect eye contact with both guests and audience simultaneously.

What makes this setup particularly versatile is how it extends beyond its traditional use. Beyond solving the eye contact dilemma, we've discovered it improves lighting conditions (especially for those with cowboy hats or shiny heads!), can display scrolling text for scripted content like audiobooks, and even shows livestream comments in real-time.

At around $300 for the Elgato teleprompter unit, it's a reasonable investment for significantly elevated production quality.

The implementation couldn't be simpler – extend your display rather than mirroring it, position your preferred camera (from basic webcams to professional DSLRs), and start recording with confidence.

Our clients immediately noticed the difference, even if they couldn't quite identify why they suddenly appeared more professional and engaged on camera.

Ready to solve your own "forehead problem" and transform how you connect with your audience? This might be the straightforward solution you've been searching for.

What does it take for a non-broadcaster to create a successful podcast? Andy Wilson, host of "Doing Business in Bentonville," shares the remarkable journey of hitting 100 episodes—a milestone that just 5% of podcasters ever reach.

Andy's path into podcasting wasn't planned. With a background in retail rather than media, he initially ran monthly live events gathering a few hundred people. When a colleague told him "the future is podcast" and COVID made in-person gatherings difficult, Andy pivoted to digital content.

This fortuitous shift allowed him to continue meaningful conversations about retail, e-commerce, and omni-channel strategies while reaching audiences globally.

The learning curve was real. Andy candidly admits to early restless nights before recording sessions, worried about the technical aspects. His breakthrough came through developing a thorough preparation process that enabled authentic conversations.

By speaking with guests beforehand to build rapport (without rehearsing questions), he created a comfort level that makes both host and guest forget the cameras are rolling.

Meanwhile, partnering with Podcast Videos to handle production allowed Andy to focus exclusively on content—his true expertise.

Retail's constant evolution ensures Andy never lacks material. From AI integration to global market shifts, the industry provides endless fascinating topics. His success demonstrates that subject expertise and genuine passion trump technical know-how when building an engaging podcast.

As Andy puts it, they "just kept their head down" and focused on creating great content—and before they knew it, they'd created something significant. Ready to start your own content journey?

Remember Andy's approach: focus on what you know, prepare thoroughly, find the right production partners, and stay consistent. The results might surprise you.
