Podcast Movement Reflections 2024 from DC - Now With Plugins!

Today I reflect on my trip to Washington DC to Podcast Movement 2024. We talk about the gear, some presentations, some things that could only happen at Podcast Movement in DC, and why there wasn't any carpet. I used the Rode Interview Pro Portable Microphone to record some interviews in the very noisy vendor hall. With this in mind, I thought I'd talk about plugins that can clean things up. Full show notes are on the website. Join the School of Podcasting Community Risk-Free Are you looking to start your own podcast but don't know where to begin?
