How much does a podcasting table cost?
You want a neat, good looking podcasting table, but since you're just starting out and have already spent quite a bit of money getting started, you want to spend as little as possible. I put together our tables for under $100 each, with a little luck and a little ingenuity. This is my inexpensive DIY podcasting table journey.
How can I Make my podcast table soundproof?
Velcro cable straps are an easy way to organize cables out of the way. Install an outlet into the top of your podcast table for easy access to power. Moving blankets are a cheap way to help dampen sound in your room. If you don't want to paint your tabletop, throw a cloth over it!
What is the best desk for a podcast studio?
The tabletop is MDF board, and would respond well to a hole saw for adding grommets to run cables through the top of the table, and take screws to mount boom arms if needed. If you need something larger and still customizable, this L-shaped desk is great for one side being your computer space and the other side being your podcasting space.

L-Shaped Desk with Storage Shelves FROM AMAZON
If you need something larger and still customizable, this L-shaped desk is great for one side being your computer space and the other side being your podcasting space. There's enough rom for boom arms, laptops, mixers, and other podcasting gear.
BAR TABLE WITH TWO STOOLS FROM AMAZON
Want a bar height space for podcasting? This set from Amazon is a great option. However, you'll want to consider tabletop mic stands, or if you want to use a boom arm, it'll need to mounted to the top of the table because of the size of the lip around the edge.
