HPR2400: My commute into work

In this episode, Dave records an episode across his entire commute into work.

• thelovebug's Anchor station
• hpr2377 :: A Rambling Drive Into Work by MrX

Hacker Public Radio episodes by me so far:

• hpr1890 :: A short walk with my son on 2015-10-30
• hpr2117 :: What's in my bag for Podcrawl? on 2016-09-13

How am I recording

I'm recording this episode, in my car, on a Samsung Galaxy A5 with a Neewer lavalier microphone (as recommended by HPR's own Jon Kulp) attached to my jacket, recording using the Auphonic Edit Android app (also on iOS).

Post-recording, I also ran the audio recorded using AuphonicEdit to the Auphonic website for levelling.

My portable podcasting setup

(previously mentioned on hpr2117) and used to record Sat On My Doorstep 1 - Alex, published to Anchor on 2017-09-13)

• Google Pixel C
• USB C to USB A OTG adapter (link to example, not the actual one I have)
• Samson Q2U USB/XLR microphone* (equivalent to the AudioTechnica ATR2100USB)

As an aside*

Both Caroline and I use that particular microphone each to record The Bugcast each week. Both the Samson and AudioTechnica microphones have been recommended by Daniel J Lewis of The Audacity To Podcast for those podcasters who cannot afford professional level equipment.
