In this brief ASMR‑styled monologue, the host of the Seed to Harvest podcast—an interview series featuring venture capitalists—walks through the core audio equipment used for recording. The gear list includes a Shure SM7B dynamic microphone, a Focusrite Scarlett 2‑in/2‑out audio interface, and a Cloudlifter pre‑amp, all connected via a simple adapter to the host’s computer. The speaker also notes a deliberate choice to forgo an external camera, citing concerns about video quality, and hints at the growing audience curiosity about the podcast’s technical setup.

Chapters

Okay, so I run a podcast called Seed to Harvest. It's interviewing a bunch of venture capitalists. But anyways, I wanted to run through my gear list because I get asked this increasingly. Okay, Shure SM7B microphone. Focusrite Scarlett 2-in/2-out Cloudlifter. So this like plugs in and then I basically just use an adapter to plug it into my computer, which is usually here. And this is a controversial topic, but I actually don't use an external camera. Maybe I should 'cause it's not very HD. But anyways, we're getting there.
