FIELD KIT

Find your niche

Don’t try to cover all of AI. Pick a specific angle: drone tech, warehouse robots, AI art, autonomous vehicles, or robot ethics. Specific beats general.

Equipment

Start with a Shure MV7 or Audio-Technica AT2020 mic, a Focusrite Scarlett interface, and Riverside.fm for remote recording. Total: ~$300.

Get guests

Reach out to researchers on X and LinkedIn. Most academics love talking about their work. Start with PhD students — they’re eager for exposure.

Distribute

Use Buzzsprout or Libsyn for hosting. They auto-distribute to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, and everywhere else. Record on YouTube simultaneously for video.
