Podcasting is unique in that it doesn’t have a requirement beyond a device to record on. The content of the podcast are the ingredients to the final product but YOUR voice is what makes a podcast special. The quality of your voice is what will bring listeners back for another episode. Here is what I use in my day to day podcast recordings, lives, and mic usage in general!

Mobile Microphones

Don’t let the idea of a good microphone be stuck to a desk. Podcasting can be done anywhere on any device and these mobile microphones bring out the best in a voice when out and about. You can hear the quality in these podcasts/voices which I am using microphone (A, B, C,).
