It’s a microphone filled episode as Marcus actually plugs in a Yeti and gives it a try for the start of the episode, which obviously makes Molly cringe. We’re talking what’s new in the microphone world and most importantly, why everyone needs one in today’s work from home world. And to be fair, not just microphones if you’re really in a position where you need good audio and why investing in the right equipment can provide tremendous value.
