What is the best advice/tip someone gave you about podcasting

[Spencer Kobren]

What do you consider the best advice / tip someone gave you about Podcasting. The best tip I got was to invest in a mic Preamp/Compressor. It has done wonders for my Audio.

When I was first starting out, a well known New York program director, who shall remain nameless, since he was a fan of the bald show and didn't work for the station that I was on, told me that whatever I do I should just be myself. He said the fastest road to mediocrity or failure in this business is to “do” someone else when you're on the air. I see that all the time in the podcasting world and it just never works.

There’s only one Leo Laporte and im my view, he’s the best at “doing” Leo.
