Creating a video podcast in a compact space presents unique challenges but also offers opportunities to get creative with your setup. By maximizing your area and utilizing tools like the Detail iOS app, you can turn even the smallest space into a fully functional video podcast studio. Let’s dive deeper into optimizing your podcast setup and explore some frequently asked questions about setting up a video podcast studio in a small space at home.


Optimize your setup with compact gear

Invest in multi-functional equipment: Choose gear that serves more than one purpose. For example, a ring light with a built-in phone holder not only illuminates your space but also secures your iPhone for recording, saving precious desk space.
