If this is your first time back to the website, welcome to its revamped look!
Courtesy of the Cutline 1.1 theme for WordPress by Chris Pearson, it features what for me was a more readable layout and font size, plus a cleaner look (echoed by my colleagues and family). I’m still a fan of the prior theme, Connections Reloaded 1.5, for its modernity and elegance, but both Cutline and its sister theme, Copyblogger, focus on straightforward lines and ease of customization.
Mark Jensen, On Podcasting Microphones
A reminder: P4MP isn’t about podcasting to increase your practice’s profit (at least, not only), it’s about getting your medical podcasts up and running as quickly as possible and sounding as good as possible, regardless of topic. The recent shows and posts are part of an important series on income optimization, but today’s interview gets back to a universal - What gear do you need, to get that pro sound that any podcaster wants?
Mark Jensen of PodSqod, with years of radio broadcasting and professional podcasting experience, talks about the first link in that chain: a quality microphone.
Most beginning podcasters are steered towards low cost, $99 condenser mics. While clearer and more sensitive than the $30-range plug-in mics, condensers can cause problems if you don’t have a soundproofed studio. Mark discusses why dynamic mics should thus get special consideration: they are what broadcasters and some of the best pro podcasters use as the “industry standard.” Including, FWIW, The President Of The United States.
Reviewed microphones:
- Shure SM57 and SM58
- ElectroVoice RE20 and RE27, and RE50
- Heil PR-40
- Sennheiser HMD280
- Rode Broadcaster
You can check these out via BSW, the supplier for MedSqod and PodSqod.
2 Sidebar nifties:
- Get Updates By Email
- At the top right of the page, this sidebar item is a kind of insurance policy. Please sign-up for email notifications of new content. Should the feed ever get tweaked and your automated podcast or post downloads get suspended (you know this kind of thing happens), you can still get content updates via email. Feed technology is still a bit hocus-pocus, but email is relatively bulletproof.
- Plus, it’s just plain nice getting fresh content updates.
- And your email will NEVER be shared, nor used for spam.

- Podcast And New Media Expo
- At the bottom of the sidebar is a banner, the 1st I’ve successfully put up! And it’s for an awesome cause - this is THE annual expo on anything relted to podcasting, videocasting, or mobile media. If “there can be only one” you attend to learn podcasting, see its cutting edge, and sample its latest software, gear and services, this is IT.
