One of the main advantages of low profile mic stands is the benefit of them just folding away when not in use. Such a space saver. 🤗

Trailer/promo swaps work. I've sent 643 new listeners to the 7 podcasts I've run promos for, and all it takes is a simple mid-roll insertion.
Look for podcasters in your niche and reach out to them and ask if they'd be interested in running a promo swap with your show. 😎

You don't really appreciate how low the self-noise is on the RODE NT1-A, until you use a different condenser mic. It's an insanely quiet mic. ❤️

Alien: Earth (for me) is pretty meh so far. There doesn't seem to be a feel of real danger - and the "man in the suit" for the alien is super obvious in this one.
I do like the kids approach, but it just feels... off. Hoping the rest of the series picks up (I do love the end soundtracks, though!).

Not exactly optimal mic positioning for that SM7B. As the audio confirms. 🙄
Confirmation that just because you have a big production team behind you, quality isn't assured and indie podcasters often put branded podcasts to shame.
