If you’ve been here for a while, you might know that I ApplaudMic the PodMic. For about $100 I think it’s an awesome value for anyone who wants to start podcasting or streaming. But Audio Technica is on the road to defeat Rode with the AT2040.

– Who Am I? –

Hi! My name is Tom Buck. As a lifelong A/V nerd, I’m here to help you level up the audio and video quality of your streams, podcasts, puns, and videos. I was a high school Digital Media teacher for 11 years, and I started this channel in 2017 as a project to share my enthusiasm for digital media and teaching others while having fun along the way.

New videos are uploaded every Thursday morning, and more often when possible!
