A Lesson from Automated Garbage Cans

By Michael Colligan | Posted on February 13, 2025

Imagine outfitting your home with the latest battery-powered, motion-activated garbage cans. At first, they seem like a great idea—wave your hand, and the lid magically opens. But then, a few months later, you find yourself running around the house replacing batteries in all of them. What once felt like a convenient upgrade now feels like an unnecessary hassle.


The same thing happens with podcasting. You don’t need to overcomplicate it with the latest and greatest gear. What you really need is a streamlined solution that lets you focus on creating great content, not troubleshooting technical issues.

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of purchasing high-end equipment, but here’s the truth—if you’re not an AV producer, you likely have no idea what you actually need.


At Get a Grip Studios, we’ve seen it all. People spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on the wrong kind of gear, only to realize later that it’s not compatible with their setup or doesn’t provide the sound quality they want.
