A podcast studio is a recording space designed specifically for the production of podcasts. It usually consists of a soundproof room with professional audio equipment, such as microphones, audio interfaces, and audio monitors. Podcasts can also be recorded over the internet using software such as Skype, Zoom, or other video conferencing tools. The goal is to record audio that is clean, clear, and free of background noise. The audio is then mixed, edited, and compressed before being uploaded to podcast hosting services, such as Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
