When a Podcast Host Is a Guest on Other Shows…

When a podcast host is a guest on other shows does that mean he/she will sound good when connecting to record?

No, not always. Because some hosts when they are being interviewed on another show will not even use their regular microphone; they will connect using their earbuds or via their phone, etc. Now, if they’re on the road and don’t have access to their normal equipment setup, this makes sense, but I’ve been shocked many times when podcast hosts show up as a guest and just want to, for instance, lay on the couch and talk into their earbuds while being interviewed, etc. It’s very disappointing. I think they just want to feel like a rockstar, like they are “the talent” that has to be catered to, and don’t want to put in the little effort it takes to use their usual podcasting setup when appearing as a guest.

I, for one, ALWAYS use my regular setup when guesting on other shows, and of course I record myself locally at 24 bit 48 kHz, too!!! YEAH OH YEAH
