Don't Compromise On Audio Quality If You Expect to Gain An Audience
You can have the most amazingly in-depth content with scintillating storytelling. But, if your podcast doesn't sound great it won't matter.
No one would ever write an insightful blog using Comic Sans as the font (at least we hope not). Similarly, podcasts with bad audio quality reflect poorly on the creator. And regardless of how great the subject matter is, listeners will assume you're not a pro if your podcast doesn't sound crisp and clean.
Invest wisely in your recording hardware and software. If you sound like an expert, that's how you'll be perceived.
