Sending Questions in Advance, Double-Speed Listening, and the Blue Yeti: Cut or Keep?

Does sending over questions in advance help interview guests prepare? Or can it lead to them rehearsing their answers? Does listening at double-speed mean there's more room for your show in your listeners' lives? Or does it miss the point of podcast consumption altogether? And is the Blue Yeti the perfect podcast starter mic, or an overpriced tarpit that gets beginners stuck on their sound?

In this "Cut or Keep?" episode, we'll talk through approaches, beliefs, and tools in podcasting and decide whether we think they should stay or go. Also on trial today are pre-calls before recording, dynamic ad insertion, podcast awards, cold opens, and running in-jokes.
