I've said all series that audio quality is why my show took off. The pandemic ended that advantage. Everyone stuck at home needed to sound good, so investment poured into home recording — Elgato's gear, Rode and Shure building affordable mics for people who talk rather than sing, and remote tools like Zencastr, Riverside, and Descript getting genuinely good while Zoom fixed the problems that used to produce robot voice. Good quality went from differentiator to baseline expectation. I'm even testing Ecamm for remote guests instead of insisting on local recordings, which goes against one of my oldest habits. What's left to compete on is the content.
