What Effect Does The Podcast and Recording Boom Have on The Studio Construction Industry?

Since the inception of podcasts, known as audio blogs, became known back in 2004, the popularity has increased over the last two decades. Why is this? One reason why podcasts got a popularity boost, is the on-demand nature of the medium. Nowadays, people are getting more used to enjoying whatever they want, whenever they want, be it tv shows, movies, music, news, etc.


Everybody can start a podcast from the comfort of their home, but the serious podcasters now rely on studios to record their shows. From San Diego to Orange County to the greater metro area of Los Angeles, studios are being built to meet the high demand. Podcasters are looking for quality recording studios whether they are turning to pay as you go studios or professionally built studios. Podcast studios are equipped with higher quality equipment than what is available to the general consumer. Podcasts or music recorded at a studio have all the bells and whistles, a lot goes into building a high-end studio, from double STC sound walls with acoustical panels, isolated ground outlets for clarity and to eliminate noise, lighting controls, lighting, access points, on air system, finishes, technology and audio/video.
