Software (H2)

OBS: Open Broadcast Studio is a free tool that I use for editing promo videos where I don't have a guest.
Camtasia: This tool by TechSmith is great for recording screen shares and it is a powerful editing suite as well.

"These equipment options will help you drastically increase your podcasting studio quality for whatever it is you're trying to do."

Podcasting Studio Hardware (H2)

Scissor Boom: The scissor boom is an adjustable microphone stand that is great for a desktop set-up
Green Screen: This enables you to change the background to any image you want.
Softbox Lights: Softboxes are standard in photography studios and they provide soft facial lighting.
LEDs: The LED lights on either side of me shine against the green screen to keep it evenly lit.
Tabletop Lighting Kit: Additional facial lighting that also eliminates reflections on eyeglass lenses.
Sony DSLR: Primary camera for promos, webinars, and interviews.
Audio Technica ATR 2100: Dynamic USB Microphone that eliminates unwanted ambient noise.
