New podcast coming soon: technical advice for setup and quality?

Hi everyone! I'm about to start my own podcast and I need some practical advice from those who are more experienced than me. I already have a pretty clear idea of the format and contents, and also some of the equipment (microphone, laptop, some lights). What I'm missing, however, is the more technical and visual part, and I'm trying to understand how to move without making unnecessary purchases.

Here are my main questions: • How to record in high quality? I'm using Logic Pro as a DAW, but I don't yet have much experience with settings, plugins or sound processing: is there anything fundamental I should know to get a really clean and professional recording? • How to create a nice set to record videos? Should I invest in a green screen or is it better to take care of a small physical corner and make it visually pleasant? • If I use a green screen, how do I create/edit the background in videos? (I use Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve, but I'm still at the basics) • As for equipment, I already own a Shure SM7B and a fourth generation Focusrite Scarlett, so on the audio side I should be fine (or at least I hope!).

I would like to create content that is also aesthetically pleasing, without overdoing it at the beginning but with a minimum of quality. Any advice on equipment, software, sets, workflows or even YouTube channels to follow is super welcome 🙏🏼

Thanks in advance!
