With streaming and podcasting becoming so huge during lockdown, the explosion of content available on pretty much any subject nowadays is stark. Even if you think your chosen area of expertise is niche, with a worldwide audience you can find listeners who are interested in what you have to say.

For music-makers podcasts and streams were a great way to engage with fans during lockdown, and even became a living for some whilst they waited for things to open up again. That’s continued beyond as well, with many musicians preferring podcasts and streams to interact with their closest fans, grow communities, and add extra value to their creative endeavours.

If you’ve toyed with the idea of setting up your own podcast or stream, then Prime Day has got some excellent deals on gear specifically for this. Whether it’s podcasting microphones or stream decks there are some seriously good discounts available but you’ll need to move quickly, we’re on day 2 of Prime Day now and many of these deals will end today.
