How to not suck at recording audio using the Zoom PodTrak P4 and Shure SM58 microphone

Amazon affiliated links below for products used to create this video. In this video, I discuss practical methods for achieving good recording audio that can be used for producing videos or a podcast episode. The main equipment I will be using are the Zoom PodTrak P4 and the Shure SM58 dynamic cardioid microphone. For filming, I'm using the Rode Wireless Go lavalier system and the Canon Vixia G60 camcorder at its highest 4K 150 mbps setting. If your current recording audio quality sucks, well let's try to fix it!
