Jody Avirgan, co-host of the podcast „Summer Album / Winter Album,“ has shared insights into his podcasting setup and workflow. The podcast features Avirgan and Craig Finn, frontman of The Hold Steady, debating whether classic records are categorized as summer or winter albums.
Avirgan has developed a home recording studio in his basement, equipped with sound-dampening panels and soft furnishings to create an optimal recording environment. His primary microphone is the Electro-Voice RE27N/D, a professional-grade studio mic, which he acquired during his previous tenure at ESPN.
For on-the-go recording, Avirgan uses the AT2020-USB+ microphone, which connects directly to his computer. He manages audio levels with the FocusRite Scarlett 2i2 interface and records backup files using Hindenburg software, ensuring a reliable workflow.
In contrast to common choices, Avirgan prefers the Rode NTH-100 headphones for their comfort and durability. He has also embraced video content creation, utilizing Descript for editing both audio and video, which allows for quick turnaround times on social media clips.
Avirgan’s visual setup includes a MacBook camera and a curated background featuring books and decorative plants, adding a personal touch to his online presence. His approach reflects a blend of technical proficiency and creative expression in the evolving landscape of podcasting.
