BSP-270: The SM7b Labeled a Streamer Microphone? and Other Questions

On episode 270 of the BSP, I discuss the Rodecaster Pro ducking feature, Why down mixing to mono leads to more noise in OBS, why I use cheap boom arms in my reviews, if the SM7b being labeled a streaming microphone is offensive or infuriating, and then I poorly answer some other technical questions.
