iPhone vs Cinema Camera: Improving your Podcast Setups

I had the privilege to be a guest on Samuele Lilliu’s YouTube channel called Bullaki. Samuele has a background in both science as a physicist and a filmmaker. He’s an interesting and engaging interviewer and we had a good conversation on production values and how to elevate these, in many cases without spending a LOT of money.

You can learn more about Samuele and subscribe and watch his other videos at the Bullaki YouTube channel.
