TL;DR
Recording a podcast with multiple hosts is a lot of fun. You're able to lean on one another to create the content, and the fun banter and chemistry you get with close friends definitely increases the entertainment value.

But there are some technical hurdles you have to deal with in a multi-person podcast recording that you don't if you were doing a solo podcast. So in this episode, we'll explain the best practices for recording multiple people.

Recording Tips
1. 2-Person Rule
2. Use Non-Verbal Cues

Podcast Gear
1. Every person should have their own Dynamic XLR microphone
2. Choose an audio interface that supports multitrack recording

Editing Tips
1. Put each person's recording on its own track
2. Remove silent portions to reduce microphone bleed/spill
