Where to record
- Studios via Pody — Browse Tel Aviv area rooms with specs and rates from NIS 150 to NIS 500/hr. Several rooms near the media district fit multi-guest panels.

Tips for creating news and politics content
- Use a brief, not a script. A two-page guide emailed 48 hours before recording keeps guests natural on air.
- Record at 48 kHz. News episodes often include archive clips; the higher sample rate prevents resampling artifacts in post.
- Pick a consistent release day. Weekly shows on a fixed day build listening habit; a separate short-form feed covers breaking news without disrupting subscribers.
- Pull transcripts early. Pody generates transcripts before editing begins; use them for pull-quotes, guest name verification, and newsroom records.
- Preserve raw files. Pody stores originals with an archive.org backup so the uncut source persists even after re-edits.
