Seven things for a professional setup
A broadcast-style dynamic microphone built for speech. It ignores most of the room and is built to last. Plugs into the RØDECaster Duo.
A compact podcast mixer with two mic inputs, so you and a guest can record in the same room, with built-in processing that makes voices sound polished.
Closed-back studio headphones, comfortable for long sessions and accurate enough to edit on.
A sharp webcam with manual camera controls, so your video looks the same from one episode to the next.
A bright, soft LED panel you control from your computer. It lights your face evenly so you look good on camera, whatever the weather outside.
A teleprompter that sits in front of your camera, so you can read notes or see your guest while keeping eye contact with your audience.
Fix them to the walls around you to cut echo. One of the cheapest ways to make a room sound professional.

If you already know you are going to keep making the show, the full kit list is worth reading before you buy twice. And if you would rather someone else handled the format, the record and the edit, that is what we are for.
