This panel brings together Canon, RØDE and Nanlite for a practical discussion on the technology behind great looking and great sounding podcasts. Aimed at creators at any stage - from first‑time podcasters to established shows looking to level up - the session focuses on what actually makes a difference across video, lighting and audio, and how to make smart, confidence‑boosting tech decisions that suit your space, format and budget. Rather than showcasing complex studio builds, the discussion is grounded in real‑world,
repeatable setups used across home studios, remote podcasts and professional studio environments. Drawing on experience working with leading podcast platforms and publishers - including Spotify, Acast and Bauer Media - as well as supporting creators starting from scratch, the panel will explore:
 How to prioritise spend across camera, audio and lighting
 Common mistakes that hold podcasts back visually and sonically
 How to improve quality incrementally without rebuilding your setup
 How to design a setup that can scale with your podcast over time
The focus is simple: demystifying the tech, empowering creators, and helping podcasts look
and sound better - faster.
