Send us feedback/questions via TextThis episode spent a good chunk of time exploring the importance of having a supportive, comfortable chair for podcasters, with both Dave Jackson and Jim Collison sharing their experiences with back pain, various chair types, and why investing in quality seating pays off for anyone spending hours behind the mic. We also devoted significant attention to troubleshooting podcast recording setups—comparing platforms like Zoom, StreamYard, Boomcaster, and Riverside, along with the pros and cons of “all-in-one” podcast solutions versus a tailored workflow of specialized tools. Throughout, we highlighted the value of careful tech choices and ergonomic comfort for long-term podcasting successSponsors:PodcastBranding.co - They see you before they hear youBasedonastruestorypodcast.com - Comparing Hollywood with History?Video Version (unedited)Mentioned In This EpisodeSchool of Podcastinghttps://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/joinPodpagehttp://www.trypodpage.comHome Gadget Geekshttp://www.theaverageguy.tvPodcast Hot SeatWorkPro® Quantum 9000 Series Ergonomic Mid-Back Mesh/Mesh ChairLiberNovo Dynamic Ergonomic Desk ChairEmbody Ergonomic Office ChairAmazon Basics Breathable Mesh Mid-Back Office Desk Chair with Armrests, Lumbar SupportJodi Krangle Voice OverFeatured Supporter of the Week Glenn HebertCheck out Glenn's Horse Radio Network: Free Podcasts for Every Horse Enthusiasthttps://www.horseradionetwork.com/ Start a Podcast In Six Weeks Weekly classes.
