Are you scheduled to come on a podcast as a guest? If you want to be invited back, or appear on any other podcast interviews for that matter, you need to have good audio.

Many authors make the mistake of using their laptop’s microphone and speakers. This will undermine your quality and scare away popular podcasts that expect good audio.

The key to sounding great on a podcast is to have some kind of microphone and over-the-ear headphones.

• The microphone makes you sound professional and credible.
• The headphones prevent echoes and ensure that you can hear the host clearly.

A good audio setup not only makes you sound great, it gives you credibility as a guest.

For podcast guests, I recomend:

• Samson Q2U $60 (This is such a good mic, you can host your own podcast with it.)
• Samson SR350 Over-Ear Stereo Headphones $15
