Home Office & Podcast Studio Setups – PCI 352

Creating a home office and podcast studio

As we say goodbye to the Columbus office and convert to 100% remote, we share our insights and experience in creating an at-home work environment and podcast studio setup. Creating this combination can be a fun challenge.

Today’s Hosts: MacKenzie Bennett, Mike Dell and Todd Cochrane

Greetings from all over the map! The entire Blubrry team is now fully remote. Our once bustling Columbus office is transitioning into a quiet relic of the past. 

Being the 5th Thursday of June, we thought it would be a great opportunity to share with you some insights and tips on how our team has been designing their remote work stations. Not just relevant for the standard work-from-home setup, these tips can also help those of you setting up your own podcasting studios. You’ll find that a majority of us are integrating our podcasting spaces with our office spaces. 

Some of the must-haves in any home office / studio are the following: 

  • Quiet Environment 
    • Sound treatment
    • But also… speakers for when you need that productivity playlist blaring
  • Comfortable chair
    • But not TOO comfortable 🙂
  • Enough desk space
  • More than one monitor 
    • There was a study that said that you get more productivity with two monitors.
    • However, there is not much more of an advantage when adding a third monitor. 
  • Good lighting
    • Good on-camera lighting for zoom calls or streaming
    • Good lighting in the office overall
  • Temperature control
    • It’s hard to work when you are hot or cold.

The best place for support with any Blubrry product or service is our ticket system. Tickets give the whole team access vs. direct emails or calls.
