What equipment should a podcast studio have? 

When checking out podcast studios, it can be a good idea to stop by and look at the space. Check out the recording area and see if it is large enough for your needs. There should be a seating area and mics on either a boom or a stand. The walls should have soundproof panelling and/or foam blocks. Make sure the mic is designed for podcasts and comes with headphones that will block out the sound. There should be a mixer and audio interface for effects or perhaps an all-n-one board such as a Rodecaster. If you want to add a video element to your podcast, many studios will offer extra equipment for flat hire. If you are unfamiliar with the recording process, most studios offer an audio engineer for a fee who can help with the kit. Some studios will even provide post-production services.
