When recording podcast audio, hardwood floors will reflect a lot of sound causing substantial reverb in the room. This is not desirable when trying to produce good sounding audio.
Alternatively, carpeting will absorb some/most of the sound reflections and substantially cut down on the amount of reverb heard in the room.
If you’re deciding where to set up your podcast “studio,” the amount of reverb present in each prospective room should be noted and factored into your decision.

While this is 100% true, it is not limited to audio recordings for podcasts. It is also 100% true for any audio recording, including voiceover for television, traditional radio and audiobook production too.
Definitely agreed. I’m still working on the acoustics in my new space. I’ve got it pretty much under control but not quite where I want it yet. Most of the challenge is the hardwood floors.
Sometimes you have to record where you can.
If it’s your studio, then think about moving it somewhere that you can reduce the reverb. Perhaps record somewhere else and then mix it back at your desk with headphones.
It’s always a good idea to have the right environment for whatever you do, or at least the best you can make it.
