The Beach-Cast Show

Episode Summary: Part 2 of the mobile podcasting series — recorded live on Naples Beach, Florida. The gear, the checklist, and the full post-production workflow for recording anywhere with minimal equipment. What You'll Learn How Sugru moldable glue solves real studio and cable problems The exact mobile gear list used to record an episode live on a Florida beach A repeatable pre-recording checklist for on-location podcasting The Auphonic-to-Dropbox-to-Audition post-production pipeline The Podcaster's Toolkit: Product of the Day Sugru — $12 for a 3-pack, $22 for 6. Essentially moldable super glue that sticks to nearly any surface, mainly for fixing and mending, with plenty of creative hacks beyond that. Some Sugru uses via Lifehacker. Real-world use here: repairing and reinforcing Apple power cables before they split, and molding a hook to hang Sony MDR-7506 headphones on the side of a desk. The individual packets are about the size of a to-go mustard packet — handy to keep around the studio or in a travel bag. Got a favorite resource or tip worth sharing? Send it to [email protected]. Recap: Part 1 Episode 48: The Golden Gate Show covered the same mobile-recording concept from San Francisco.

Disclaimer: recording on a windy beach isn't generally recommended — this one happened because it's episode #50, and for instructional purposes. Goal of the series: build the skills to record in any situation with minimal gear — a genuinely valuable addition to any podcaster's toolkit (right alongside Sugru).
