Mobile Recording

Anchor's mobile app makes it easy to build a podcast episode. Users have the option to take a new recording, select files from their existing libraries, and add transitions.

Record With Friends

With Anchor's mobile app, creators can invite friends to join a recording by sending them a generated link. Note that any participants must also download the Anchor app.

Desktop Interface

Anchor's desktop interface hosts much of the same functionality as the mobile app, with the exception of the ability to record with remote contributors.

Editing Tools

Anchor now offers editing tools via its mobile apps. For example, you can trim and split audio tracks, as well as flag specific points in a recording for revisiting.

Podcast Community

You can listen to podcasts from other Anchor creators from the mobile app.

My Experience

I’ve been writing and editing technology articles for more than seven years, most recently as part of PCMag's software team. I am responsible for content in the AI, financial, graphic design, operating system, photo and video editing, productivity, and small business categories, among others. I also worked for several years on the consumer electronics team, where I edited articles on topics such as cameras, headphones, phones, speakers, and tablets. Before PCMag, I was at Neowin.net, Tom’s Guide, and Laptop Mag.

The Technology I Use

I use a Lenovo ThinkPad P14s for work and a 2021 Razer Blade 14 for everything else. I also keep a Lenovo Yoga Tab tablet and a HiBy M300 digital audio player. My current phone is a Google Pixel 9a.

As for software, I use Firefox everywhere, as well as Bitwarden and Mullvad VPN. I rely on Adobe Lightroom to edit photos and Google Keep or Microsoft Excel to manage the rest of my life. To organize my music library, I use MusicBee on Windows and Musicolet on Android.

I’m currently split between wired and wireless headphones. I use a Fiio K3 amp/DAC for the Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X headphones and the Moondrop Kato earphones. For wireless audio, I switch between the Shure Aonic 50 (Gen 2) headphones and the Technics EAH-AZ40M2 earphones.

My current camera is a Nikon Z6III.
