Doing so not only gives you the flexibility to create unique content from anywhere but also enables you to feature guests on your show from all corners of the globe. There are several options available; however, the best choice depends on a few key factors. First, you need to consider what type of technology both you and your co-hosts have access to. Second, think about your level of experience with recording audio and which method will work best for all involved.
