Many people overthink equipment when starting out with video or podcasting. Christopher Johnson emphasized using what you already have, like your phone, and focusing on good audio before investing in expensive gear.

I was delighted to have Christopher Johnson, event producer and radio personality, join me to share some tips on purchasing recording equipment. He encouraged listeners to buy what fits their current needs and learn as they grow. Fun and experimentation should guide the process.

Topics included
🔹Don’t overspend on gear you don’t understand—start simple
🔹Phones are powerful tools for both video and audio content
🔹Audio quality matters more than video quality for keeping attention
🔹Get the most memory you can afford on devices, especially for video
🔹USB mics are beginner-friendly; XLR setups require more gear and skill
