Bit of a miserable article. The author seems to be a lefty professor who likes trade unions and doesn't really like entrepreneurs.
The essay and main HN on Founder Mode are good https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41415023
A lefty professor who likes trade unions sounds like a horrible person! /s

Sound is much more important - even if you consider your podcast video first (in which case it’s not a podcast but that’s another topic) sound is more important. Take whatever smart phone you have and use that for the video and then spend any money you have for the camera and spend it on a decent mic.
People will watch lower quality video with good sound for far longer than they will watch good video with bad sound.

Exactly this. In terms of recording quality, my approach would look something like this:
1. Use a decent microphone.
2. Make sure you know how to handle the microphone.
3. Use closed-back headphones.
4. Record in a suitable environment/studio.
5. Consider adding a video track as well.

I wonder why there's still no AI tool that would take okay-ish voice recording and make it sound stellar, just like there are many tools for visual stuff?
AI tools can't make okay-ish video recordings suddenly look great.
