I personally currently use Logic Pro X, but I think I could use something better…

I use Logic Pro also. I tried learning Hindenburg, but I’m more comfortable in Logic.
I also have a Rodecaster Pro that I’ve been testing and love it.

welcome @ukuleleabe to the forum! thanks for joining and sharing your thoughts. Can you share more about what you love about Rodecaster Pro?
@natemaingard I’d love to hear what Logic Pro X is lacking that’s making you think of using something else.
OMG, I’d LOVE to have a Rodecaster Pro, @ukuleleabe! I have their Procaster micx, which I love, but are a bit soft on gain, so needing to boost them somehow.
@mindy, I just feel like Logic isn’t built for podcasting, no built-in templates. I don’t know why I want something else, haha, I think maybe I just like change too much 
. Saying that, I have built my own templates with Logic and I’m pretty swift with it now. Oh, there is another thing: I’m finally seriously considering moving to Windows from Apple. I just can’t handle how overpriced their macbook pros have become, with all the gimmicky touchbars, keyboard issues, etc!
Haha, don’t get me started

Other tools I love:
- Powerpress for embedding my podcast on my Wordpress site
- MyPodcastReviews to see all international reviews in one place
- Headliner for making audiograms:

@natemaingard it’s worth the money, imo. A lot of podcasters aren’t so impressed, but it’s made my job easier.
@mindy I love it because it makes phone call recordings very straightforward. It has buttons for sound effects like bumpers and background music. It has good built-in EQ for voice. It’s like the perfect equipment for a live podcast recording.
I could do more in Logic, with more equipment that costs less total than the Rodecaster, but I don’t want to go through all the hassle. At the moment I’m using the Rodecaster and importing to Logic for simple edits, like cutting out stumbling speech. I like the podcast to feel like a conversation, so I don’t cut out everything.

You should check out Chartable. I started using that more than MyPodcastReviews because it does that but also collects some other analytics.
Headliner is great!

I’m not sure if this would count as a tool, but in case any of you podcasters are in need of music - I have a music library that is Patreon funded (and mostly free to everyone) that might help in your podcast editing. If you need music, have a peek at soundslikeanearful.com or my Patreon.
Hopefully it can be a useful tool for someone!

I just started recording my podcasts this past weekend.
In terms of software, I am using Audacity to record my audio. I have someone who is doing the post-production work and distributing it via his website (online radio station).
As for hardware, I have a Microsoft USB headset that I am currently using. I had a really decent condenser mic, but multiple moves have made it to where that has now gone missing. That is actually the first thing I plan to get with Patreon funds once I am “making a profit” (read: once all my operational costs are covered each month).

Thanks for sharing! Fortunately, I was able to get things established for post-production and mixing. Now, it’s just a matter of getting episodes recorded in preparation to go live later this month!
Then, hopefully, the Patrons start rolling in!
