On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Joe Rogan's $250 million Spotify deal and Smartless' $100 million Sirius XM contract aren't just industry anomalies - they're proof of podcasting's massive revenue potential. In fact, the podcasting industry is now a 7.2 billion dollar industry and counting. I know you can look at those numbers and think, “Yeah, but that’s only for the really big shows”. But the reality is, there’s money to be made as an independent creator with a small listenership. You’ve just got to be willing to put in the work and get creative. After producing hundreds of podcasts with independent creators, I've identified which approaches deliver results for shows of all sizes. In this episode, I break down what we’ve found to be the best ways to monetise your podcast.

Let's cut straight to the point: the Shure MV7 Plus positions itself as the Swiss Army knife of microphones. With both XLR and USB capabilities in one sleek package, it's targeting everyone from podcast beginners to audio professionals. But after putting it through rigorous testing at Bamby Media's production studio, I can tell you exactly where it shines and where it falls short.

To audio podcast or video podcast…that is the question. It is in fact, the question that I get the most during consultations with potential (or existing) clients. They’re trying to make a decision as to whether an audio only podcast fits their needs, or whether they need to invest in video and it’s all a bit confusing. I will say straight up - there is no one size fits all answer to this as every show is different, and their goals are different. But there are a few key points that are worth taking into consideration when you’re trying to make this decision for yourself.

I’ve tested and used a lot of podcasting equipment at this point in my career. Before I was a podcast producer, I was a musician, so the love of gear runs deep. Anything that I can get my hands on that is going to improve the sound or the functionality of my setup is something I get very excited about. I also feel like at this point I’ve learned the difference between good and great and I’m quite partial to a gear battle. So here we are. We’ve got two microphone boom arms in the arena that I have rigorously tested. The Elgato Wave Mic Pro and Rode PSA1+. They’ve both been tested in the studio here at Bamby Media HQ, and out on location in various recording environments. I’ve narrowed the battle down to a few key areas that are worth taking into consideration. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s begin.

They did not instruct me to make a video, an article, a podcast episode. They have had no input into my decision to battle or review this product. I purchased the Rode PSA1+ myself. No sponsorships influenced these findings - just real-world experience from hours of professional use.

After a decade of producing podcasts with millions of downloads and testing countless pieces of audio gear at Bamby Media, let me cut straight to the chase: The Elgato Wave Mic Pro low profile boom arm is worth your attention. Full disclosure: Elgato sent me this piece of kit, no strings attached. I didn’t have to review it, I didn’t have to record a video about it. The product was so just flippin’ good I felt compelled tell you all about it. My recommendations are always based on actual performance in professional production environments. For serious audio professionals, this boom arm eliminates the common frustrations we've all experienced with lesser equipment. While the price point sits higher than plastic alternatives, the professional build quality and reliable performance make it a great investment for long-term use. I don’t see a reason why you’d ever need to buy another one. Unless your studio space is increasing and you just need more booms!

A little over a year ago I decided to start a YouTube channel for the Bamby Media brand. Not because we were searching for more clients, chasing extra revenue or I as the founder was interested in becoming a full-time content creator. Our mission was simple: Build a YouTube channel that serves as our live testing ground - a place where we could experiment, fail, and succeed with content strategies before implementing them for our clients' channels. We needed to be the guinea pigs for strategies we wanted our clients to try. That is what landed me on YouTube creating content once a week. Over the last 12 months, I have learned many lessons that I felt would be valuable for the aspiring YouTuber to take into consideration. So here they are for you. You’re welcome.

Is it too much to ask that we have a one-stop production suite for podcasters? All I want is a way to record episodes remotely, edit them to my exact specifications and then upload them to podcast platforms and/or YouTube for one monthly subscription fee. I don’t want to use a heap of different tools and sharing files across multiple platforms. I just want one place to handle it all. This used to be something I thought to myself as I worked away on podcasts, and it felt completely out of reach. Surely no one-stop shop would exist. It’s too much for one software to handle. Well, Descript is trying its hardest to give me exactly what I asked for. But it’s not succeeding yet. In this episode, I break down where Descript Rooms is at, and why I don’t recommend it for remote recording.

After a decade in podcast production and millions of downloads across our client roster at Bamby Media, I can tell you this with absolute certainty: podcast editing can make or break your podcast's success. I’ve judged countless podcasting awards such as The Webby’s, Australian Podcast Awards, Signal Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and I’ve heard the full gamut of podcast production. We’ve also launched and worked on probably close to one thousand podcasts over the last decade here at Bamby Media and it’s clear that success lies in the details. Before I begin this episode, let me caveat by saying that some podcasts can get away with very limited, or no editing. I understand this. What I’m about to share isn’t a blanket rule that every podcaster must follow. This is just what I’ve noticed more broadly for most podcasts.

As someone who has worked in podcast production for over a decade, at this point I can say I’ve tried pretty much every software there is. When I was thinking about the DIY podcasters among us, the question I posed myself was simple: Can you do a good enough job of recording and editing your podcast just with free tools, or is it worthwhile investing in a more robust paid option? Whether you're recording your first episode or ready to level up your podcast production game, I'm about to break down the real MVPs of podcast software - both the wallet-friendly gems and the worth-every-penny investments that actually deserve your hard-earned cash. In this episode, I’ll be breaking down the best free and paid software tools for podcasters currently available. While the podcast recording and editing options are quite vast, the trick is to find software that aligns with your needs and skills. Whether you're looking for a simple setup with GarageBand or Audacity, or aiming for full-fledged production powerhouses like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe's suite, there's something here for you.

In today's video, I'm comparing two powerhouse AI audio background removal tools: Descript Studio Sound and Adobe V2. As someone who's produced podcasts for over a decade, I know the struggle of dealing with less-than-perfect audio, so I'm putting these tools through their paces to help you make the best choice for your show. I'll walk you through real-world scenarios we face daily at Bamby Media - from pesky car noise to those annoying clothing rustles (we've all been there! 😅). Whether you're recording without a proper mic or dealing with room echo, I've got you covered with practical solutions and honest feedback on what actually works.

Choosing the right microphone can make or break your content. That might sound a bit dramatic, and to be honest it probably is. I know for most creators it might not be a huge deal if you go with a dynamic microphone when a condenser microphone would have been better suited. Sure, a slightly different range in frequency response isn’t going to be noticed by the majority of people consuming your content. But there is something so satisfying and almost unquantifiable about listening to audio that has been captured the right way with the right equipment. With that in mind, I went looking for the best wireless microphone system for content creators. As I started looking at what creators were already using, the Rode Wireless Pro and DJI Mic 2 emerged as direct competitors. And so began the tests. I’ve been using these two systems for a solid four months on locations that I know a content creator would go: hotel rooms with concrete floors, windy outdoor environments, city streets, the beach, studios and multi-speaker podcast panel discussions. In each location, I’ve made sure to compare not only the ease of use, portability and functionality of each system but more importantly the sound quality. If you’ve been trying to decide between the Rode Wireless Pro and DJI Mic 2, let this podcast episode be your guide.

If you're a founder still lurking behind your company logo like it's your last line of defence, I've got news for you: your business needs YOUR face, not just your fancy branding and pictures of your team or thriving office culture. Though those things are nice, a potential customer has nothing to hold onto. We buy from people, not businesses. That’s why you need to be building your personal brand, and I feel like podcasting is the cheat code you’ve been searching for. Now, before you roll your eyes at this article thinking 'not another personal brand lecture,' roll those eyes back into their appropriate location and give me a few minutes of your time.

It's a special day for me—my birthday! 🎉 And what better way to celebrate than combining two of my loves: music and microphones? So, join me on this little auditory adventure as we dive into some budget-friendly microphone options that are perfect for vocalists. I've gathered a selection of XLR and USB microphones, a lineup that includes the SE DCM8 , SE Neom , Rode NT USB Mini , Rode PodMic (in both USB and XLR formats), and the Shure MV7 (also in both formats).

I take a look at Spotify's recent announcement of their rebrand to 'Spotify for Creators' for podcasters and its impact on audio podcasting. I review the new monetization requirements on Spotify, comparing them with YouTube's more lenient YouTube Creator Program and monetisation options for audio-only shows. I discuss the potential shift towards video podcasting, the challenges smaller creators may face, and the different revenue models of Spotify and YouTube. Featuring insights from an interview with Spotify CEO Daniel Elk that Colin and Samir did on their podcast, we'll examine the pros and cons of Spotify's approach and what it means for the future of podcasting.

As the festive season approaches, the question of whether to take a break from releasing podcast episodes over Christmas and New Year often looms large, especially for podcasters. It's a time when many are eager to unwind, enjoy family time, and perhaps forget about their usual routines. But is a break the best move for your podcast? I’ve trawled through the data we collect from our own client roster and the podcasting industry more broadly to give you my take. Podcasting is an evolving and growing medium, drawing people away from algorithm-driven platforms to more meaningful interactions with the content they love. By staying consistent, especially over the Christmas period, you'll be ready to leap into the New Year, taking advantage of the increased listener engagement. I hope this gives you the clarity and confidence to keep those episodes rolling, even through the holiday season. I know it’s a lot of work, and I also appreciate that you simply might need a break. It’s okay if you don’t take my advice and instead fall in a heap for a couple of weeks. I get it. At the end of the day, it’s your show so you can do whatever you want. That’s the beauty of the medium. I’m just here to give you a bit of a push if you’re open to it.

As the wireless microphone offerings expand, so does my need to review them. Traditionally, the wireless microphone space was a bit lacklustre. They had clunky receivers that you had to try to hide under your clothes, the connections would drop out and the ability to connect seamlessly to a smartphone was rare. Today, that is no longer the case. We’ve got Rode, DJI, Hollyland and Sennheiser as well as many others all putting their hats into the ring and today I’m putting the DJI Mic 2 to the test. As a podcast producer with over 60 clients globally, I'm always on the hunt for audio and video equipment that can simplify our client workflow while delivering top-notch quality. If you're in the same boat, or perhaps just curious about whether this kit holds its ground against competitors like the Rode Wireless Pro, keep reading. I've spent the last month and a half putting the DJI Mic 2 through its paces across a variety of environments—from the roaring waves of the beach, to the tranquil hinterland of Byron Bay, and within the confines of my home studio. My aim? To see how this system performs under different conditions and with varying sound profiles.

In the words of Mariah Carey, “All I Want For Christmas Is…Microphones”. I’m sure when she originally sang “you”, Mariah was actually thinking about a particular microphone that she had her eye on. Perhaps swooning over a rather special condenser microphone that highlights the sparkly frequencies in her voice. It’s plausible and I won’t let you tell me otherwise. I am not being ridiculous.

Oh my, do I have a lovely microphone to show you today! The sE Neom microphone presents an intriguing option for podcasters seeking USB-only solutions. With its distinct design, on-brand red meshing, gunmetal colouring and unique features, the sE Neom aims to carve out a niche in a crowded USB microphone market. I have been testing this microphone now for about 6 months in a variety of locations and use cases. As a podcaster myself and a producer of over 50 podcasts, I’m always looking for microphones to recommend to my community. So I decided to put this one to the test.

I used to be quasi-famous.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to listen to 200 AI-generated podcasts? “No. That’s ridiculous. Why would anyone do that?” I hear you say. I’m flaky on the “why” myself, but the thing is, I did it and those are hours of my life I will never get back. I listened to 200 fake podcasts generated with NotebookLM to see for myself whether the podcasting industry is about to come crumbling down. Although I went slightly insane throughout this experience, I feel it was well worth it. I definitely never want to hear the phrase “deep dive” again, but other than that I’ve ventured out of this mess mostly unscathed. 00:00 Introduction: Overwhelmed by AI Podcasts 00:32 The Rise of AI-Generated Podcasts 02:32 Deep Dive into AI Podcast Content 03:23 The Banter and Repetition Problem 04:49 Lack of Authenticity in AI Hosts 07:55 Potential and Future of AI Podcasts 10:13 Conclusion: Final Thoughts on AI Podcasts BAMBY MEDIA LINKS: Book A Consultation Free Podcast Audit Service YouTube Channel Apply to Join PodCoach GEAR WE USE HERE AT BAMBY MEDIA: SE Dyncaster DCM8 Rode Boom Arm XLR Cables Sony ZV E10 Elgato Camlink Aputure Amaran 200d LED Video Light Aputure Light Box Min Pre-Amp/Mixers we recommend Focusrite Clarett+ Rode Streamer X Rodecaster Pro II Rodecaster Pro Duo…
You’re about to start a podcast and you’ve decided you want to edit it yourself. At first, this seems like it should be fairly straightforward. Get the audio/video, make a few adjustments, cut a bit of the nonsense out and you should have something that’s good enough to release. But then you start researching online what software you should use to edit your show and everybody and their dog has an opinion on what software to choose. And for some reason, the editors of the world are quite adamant that their tool is the best one to use. There can be no other winners. Unfortunately, a lot of the information you find online may lead you down the path of complex editing tools that make you want to throw your computer out a window. And as a long-time editor myself with almost two decades of experience working with audio and video, I can sometimes be a bit of a snob too. I do have clear favourites and if I’m amongst other seasoned editors, no doubt we would have a healthy debate about why what we use is supreme. But that’s not the purpose of today dear reader. Today, I want to help distil the endless possibilities that you’re presented with as a DIY podcast editor, into a comparison of two tools that there has been quite a lot of discussion about online. Descript vs. Riverside.fm. You’ve probably heard of Riverside.fm with its super convenient virtual meeting capabilities. It’s been a trusty sidekick for recording interviews remotely. It wasn't long ago that Riverside started offering editing capabilities too. Smart, right? If you're already using Riverside, you might think, "Hey, why not just edit here too?" But is it as good as it sounds? On the flip side, there's Descript – an editing tool that, truth be told, had a rough start years ago as it was a pretty bad user experience. But time has been kind to Descript, and now it’s a pretty solid choice in the podcasting world. So, let’s see how these two stack up against each other based on a few key factors: ease of editing, customisation, speed, AI tools, and learning curve.…
There seems to be quite a lot of buzz about Google’s new AI tool, NotebookLM and how it can potentially impact the world of podcasting. As a podcast producer and founder of podcast production agency, Bamby Media, I’m always testing new tools to see how they can benefit (or hinder) the industry I love so much. Armed with a healthy dose of hope and scepticism, I decided to give Google NotebookLM a whirl to see whether the podcasting world should be worried.

Why does recording audio have to be so difficult? If you’re trying to record audio of a very high standard, you’re often met with a barrage of choices you have to make. What microphone do I need? Is my location too noisy? What am I going to plug my microphone into? How do I record multiple people at once? What software am I going to use to record it? In the consultations I have with content creators, this line of questioning is one of the first topics we cover and I often see their eyes glaze over when I start listing all the options. I can confirm, there are too many options. But my advice is to focus on one thing at a time, and today I’m focusing on the software that you use to record. For the audio-only folks out there, there is very simple piece of software that will make your life easy. At least this portion of your life. I can’t guarantee the rest of your life will fall into place based on this decision. Sorry. Today I’m excited to share a game-changer in the world of audio recording - Shure Motiv Mix , which at time of writing is currently in its Beta phase and it’s completely free to use.

It’s happening. You’re finally launching a podcast. You’ve been thinking about it, planning it, buying the gear, deciding not to do it, then deciding you want to do it, then getting scared, putting the gear back in the cupboard, then getting it back out, then realising you really just need to do it. You know, all the normal emotions that fresh podcasters go through. You get over the initial hurdle of committing to the process, but then you start thinking what that first episode needs to be like. It needs to be amazing. The kind of episode that someone will listen to and think, “This is possibly the greatest podcast in the history of the world. I’m hooked and I will now be a raving fan forever. I will give them my first born child as gratitude for how good this podcast episode is.” Sure, that’s one way to attack your first episode, but maybe it’s not the smartest… In this episode, I step through how I believe you should approach your first podcast episode.

Recording on location used to be such a huge pain in my ass. I’d have this big carry case with my trust Zoom H5, Rode lapel microphones and clips, wind socks, XLR adapters for the lapels so that they’d connect to the Zoom and then a huge amount of leads to make sure all my bases were covered. And then a few brands started bringing out wireless microphone options that could connect to your phone. Some of them were okay, but most of them weren’t good enough for me to switch from my bulky setup. I was capturing much better sound doing it my way. As the technology improved, so too did the wireless microphone options that were brought to the market. Again, I was still dubious, but I decided to bite the bullet and put the Rode Wireless Pro to the test. I’d looked at some reviews on YouTube, reviewed the sound quality and inclusions and decided it may be a viable option for myself and our clients. For the tests that I conducted, I was focusing on how the Rode Wireless Pro system handled a diverse array of recording environments. I tested in a quiet hotel room, at the beach, on a train, in the park and using the included lapel (wired) setup vs the completely wireless option. I’ve been using the system now for almost three months, and I’m ready to give you my recommendations.

After recently watching Happy Gilmore for probably the twentieth time, it got me thinking about how we present ourselves as creators. I found myself reflecting quite existentially on the impact that Adam Sandler’s character had on my view of where the world of content creation currently sits. And I honestly think it’s all a little boring. Overwhelmingly people are presenting as the “professional” version of themselves, especially on LinkedIn. This makes sense as we predominantly put out content to draw the viewer/listener into ultimately buying something from us. We present as the authority. We present as a leader. But are we showing enough of ourselves to keep our content interesting? In this episode, I go through a few key lessons I learned from Happy Gilmore about content creation.

Currently, the global creator economy is valued at around $155 billion. By 2030 it’s expected to surpass $525 billion. That’s a lot of wig wams. And I know it might seem like every person and their pet is a “creator” these days, but it shouldn’t stop you from exploring this option for yourself too. Being a content creator can mean many different things and encompass a variety of industries. It’s not all about selling the latest products, jumping on the newest trends and vlogging about your latest dental checkup. There is nuance to this industry. It’s fun, creative, explorative, educational and thinking of yourself as a creator will open you up to delivering more valuable content for your audience. No doubt you’ll also make more money as a result. But the first step needs to be answering the all-important “why”. I’ve got some practical tips to help you answer that question in this podcast episode.

Here at Bamby Media, we’ve been producing podcasts for clients for almost a decade and I’d say at this point we’ve worked with almost every podcast hosting platform out there. From Omnystudio to Simplecast, Podbean, Libsyn, Blubrry, Acast to name a few. But do we really need that many podcast hosts? Don’t they all largely do the same thing? The short answer is yes, they do all largely have the same basic functions. But I do feel that not all podcast hosting platforms are created equally. There are definite advantages to some hosts over others, and after years of experience in this space, there are two hosts that I’ve found to be the standouts in the field. Buzzsprout and Captivate . I’m going to give you the breakdown as to why I’ve chosen these two, and who ultimately wins in a battle between the two. — Book our Podcast Hosting Migration Service Try Buzzsprout Try Captivate BAMBY MEDIA LINKS: Apply to Join PodCoach YouTube Channel GEAR WE USE HERE AT BAMBY MEDIA: SE Dyncaster DCM8 Rode Boom Arm XLR Cables Sony ZV E10 Elgato Camlink Aputure Amaran 200d LED Video Light Aputure Light Box Min Pre-Amp/Mixers we recommend Focusrite Clarett+ Rode Streamer X Rodecaster Pro II Rodecaster Pro Duo…
