Obviously. You'll want a fairly fast one, just to make sure there's no issues, but anything bought in the last 5 years (and even a lot of older ones) will do just fine - if you're having performance problems close down all other programs before you start making radio.

You'll need Google Chrome installed. WebStudio MAY work in other browsers, but Computing won't support it - if you ask us for help using anything except Chrome our response might just be "try again in Chrome". While you're at it, make sure it's got the latest updates installed (usually it'll do this automatically).

Hard-wire Ethernet is always preferable over WiFi, not for speed but for stability - WiFi has a bad habit of dropping packets (considering you are basically beaming sound on radio waves across several walls it's honestly impressive it manages as well as it does).

You'll also want a fairly fast connection - most home broadband should do, but go to [https://speedtest.net] to check your speed - you'll want at least a couple mbps on the upload line. If you're having issues, 4G may work better than home broadband, but that causes reliability issues, so broadband is always preferable.

Please, please, PLEASE do not try to do a radio show using laptop speakers. It will sound God-awful whenever you turn on your mic. You don't need high quality studio headphones like we have at York, even a pair of EarPods will do you just fine, but make sure you have some. (On that note, wired ones are preferable to Bluetooth, because Bluetooth introduces delay which will throw all your timings off.)

The tricky one. Take a look at our [[Working From Home Resources/Microphone Recommendations|microphone recommendations]] page and choose one that fits your budget. You don't need to splash out on a mic if you're only doing one show a week, as even an EarPod mic will sound ''okay'', but do think about it if you want to get more serious about making radio from home.
