I guess it depends on what "full setup" includes. If its two good mics, headphones, mounts and cables and stuff it might be a decent deal. From what we see in the picture, not so much
There are quality and versatility differences at different price points. A basic mic will work though. A lot of people swear by the $13 Behringer XM8500 since it performs like a $100+ mic.
The big difference is in versatility. A budget mic can get good sound, but may not reject noise as well. My Podmic is completely oblivious to the box fan blasting 2 feet away from it and the laptop fan. I can't avoid noise, so it was a worthwhile investment for my situation.
I think that you need to have a license to buy podcast equipment. There are too many mid 30s dudes preying on the susceptibility of kids and convincing them of anything just because they rent a studio for 2 hours and produce 8 hours worth of short form content to upload to Tiktok.
Can't you just use a regular keyboard? This seems insane for a keyboard. And don't tell me it's not a keyboard, yes it is. lol Basically anything that isn't a server is a keyboard. 😃😀
White dudes in their late twenties/early thirties coming to the realisation that they aren’t special or unique and nobody cares about their unremarkable life or dubious beliefs
Yeah if anything I’d prefer blogging also because I prefer reading blogs to listening to podcasts too.
I only listen to podcasts in languages I’m learning/reinforcing (Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese), because I don’t even need to focus, just hearing the language in the background helps.
I mean, if one treated it as an audio journal then their’d be no harm in it. Right?
I didn’t mean to dissuade people from doing something which might be personally therapeutic. Just to grumble about a fairly common tend.
I hope you are able to find comfort, wellbeing and peace of mind.
Sad? That’s uplifting as hell! Bro realized “You know what? I ain’t cut out for this and a bunch of other people in the game are weird as fuck. Fuck this, I’m out.”
You will regret the things you didn’t try much more than the things you did. Fair play lad, knowing when to get out. I paid 800 quid for golf clubs 10 years ago and i’m shit but they are still in my garage! You are my example. Maybe we should start a podcast on knowing when to give up 😂😂😂
“It’s not for me.” Is a concept I wish had better representation. Also when it comes to podcasts specifically, I can see quickly coming to the realization that it lowkey/highkey kinda sucks to feel like you have to record, edit, and monetize every good conversation you have with your friends.
Admitting that you have a problem: you have no business podcasting your opinions. Is the first step to actually contributing to the betterment of society.
thanks everyone who replied “how is this sad this is good actually”. sometimes on bluesky us posters make “jokes” and in this case the “joke” was that it shared the cadence of “for sale, baby shoes, never worn”, rather than myself expressing genuine sadness at one less podcast. hope that helps
Dear friends, I am talking to you from Gaza, in which we were subjected to a devastating war in which we lost everything we have, we ask you to participate and donate to start our lives again. You are the only hope, please https://www.gofundme.com/f/56mx4-help-me-to-reunion-with-my-family

peak podcaster form, even after they've retired
still seems like quite a bad deal!
Except our podcast that never was.
Happiest 6 word story!

I feel like therapists should be discouraging it rather than encouraging?!
On the other hand, you could start a blog. Like, even if nobody cares about it, you still get better writing skills out of it

Make podcasting equipment impossibly expensive. Is a slogan i would vote for.

Maybe he finally lost his virginity and spared the world.
