229: The Tech and Tools I Recommend for Podcasting

I don't know about you, but tools intimidate me.

Switching tools, learning a new tool, they all intimidate me.

But today I want to cover a few areas of podcasting that require tools.

And that's recording, hosting, editing, and additional audio cleanup.

Now, I want to start off by saying that as a podcast producer, I do have a privilege in being able to run a business that brings in revenue to have expenses to allow for me to choose more tools based on my own preferences, not only on the ease of use or simplicity.

This means that I probably go over the top in what I spend on podcast tools.

If I had a podcaster come to me and tell me that she wanted to handle everything on her own, but wanted an all-in-one tool, I would probably tell her to use Riverside.

This episode is not sponsored by them, and primarily with good reason, because I'm gonna tell you a lot of other tools that we use, but I'm telling you out of my own experience.

At this point, I genuinely think that Riverside as an all-in-one tool does a pretty decent job.

It has recording, editing, hosting, even generating clips all inside of one platform.

If you're just getting started, I think that's a really solid all-in-one option.

That said, I don't personally use it that way.

And I only use Riverside for recording.

I don't use it for editing or hosting or clips.

And I'll explain that when we get to that, those sections in a minute.

I do love the tool and I do recommend the tool for a multitude of reasons, but I don't love everything about it, which is why I do leverage those other tools that we'll get into.
