Guests: If You Own a Decent Microphone, PLEASE USE IT!

If you are going to be a guest on a podcast and you own a decent microphone, please use it! It makes a BIG difference toward you sounding your best to the audience.

Unfortunately I’ve witnessed many guests over the years who take the lazy way out and connect with no microphone — then when I ask them if they own a decent microphone they say, “Yes, it’s right over there.” Then I have to ask them to plug it in, etc.

In some cases the reason the guest connects without their microphone is because they have no respect for the podcast they’re guesting on — but I think in most cases guests do this because they simply don’t know how important good audio is, and/or they’re running late and didn’t have time to plug in their microphone (??!!).
