These are good tips!
I'll add a few things:
For someone who doesn't already have a microphone preamp/audio interface lying aroun, an acceptable budget USB condenser mic is going to be cheaper than a SM58. I'm sure lots of podcasts are being made [on this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Snowball-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B006DIA77E) and there's probably cheaper ones still on eBay.
I think even a medium-sized or larger room could be fine if there is reasonable absorption from some combination of carpet/rugs, bed, couch, curtains, etc if you get away from the walls. Just clap your hands and see how long it rings, and especially how high and piercing the ring is. For music I've done stuff like the makeshift fort before and it rules, but you might not need to go that far. If you're in need of material to work with, I've gotten some pretty good foam and heavy but charmless blankets from freecycle and found a thing or two in thrift stores.
I agree with ducking the music when speaking. I really like the lofi upright piano though! Most podcast music bores me with super slick glitch-hop and chillwave or just canned public domain music.
With a podcast I think accessibility should be the priority over aesthetics, so as long as I can understand everything when I have to leave my phone across the room for a second while I run the garbage disposal, etc., it's fine. It's good to have production values and cool music and all but I think putting much more money and effort into it than we're talking about goes to diminishing returns. And I think there's a realness here that shouldn't be totally polished away.
Great job Aly.
The only thing I contributed to that thread was this link to review meta. It's pretty interesting if you are curious about how broken online review systems are.
My favorite part was that 78% of the reviewers only reviewed between 1-5 and 6-15 reviews, with an average rating of 4.8 and 4.5 respectively, which is an abnormally low amount of reviews and an abnormally high average rating.
This translates to "roughly 75% of reviewers that we could identify were fans of Serial/Rabia/Adnan Syed."
The mods over there almost never do anything but I see they are taking the time to lock popular threads for some reason.
You need to read her impressive resume on Amazon's Rabia Chaudry page, it's simply unbelievable. 80 million downloads of UD. And apparently Amazon has already decided this case for us, "Adnan Syed, the wrongfully convicted man"..
"Rabia Chaudry is the public advocate of Adnan Syed, the wrongfully convicted man at the center of the podcast "Serial", with 500 million downloads, and her own podcast "Undisclosed", with nearly 80 million downloads."

And while you're there pickup an Adnan Innocent T-shirt in 12 fashion colors.

I think he's more the point guard/defense attorney type than the center/district attorney type.
Juveniles should not be tried as adults, imo. It's the shame of the nation (or one of them). All Hugh Carey's fault^1 for pandering, too.
^1 Obviously it's not that simple. I mostly mentioned it because although I haven't yet read this, I thought that either you would have (in which case I'd want to know what you thought) or you'd be interested to know about it (in which case it bore mentioning.)
Because that's one of your interests, right? [ETA: Meaning juvenile sentencing; the book includes but is more expansive than that, obvs. It's supposed to be excellent, though. I've been meaning to read forever.]
It was a safety device that was popular in the 90's, before many cars had electronic alarm systems. https://www.amazon.com/Club-1000-Original-Steering-Wheel/dp/B0000CBILL
Amazon is selling this mug through "Mommylicious Crafts" all proceeds to go to the legal fund.

She is a terrible witness because she is a publicity hound who has made a second career out of being the Adnan Alibi lady. I mean, just look at her book, it tells you all you need to know:
