Podcasting with Audacity™: Creating a Podcast with Free Audio Software - Mac, Windows, and Linux

Appendix AGet the Right Equipment

For most podcasters, a good microphone setup is one of the most important tools of the trade. Many podcasts are out there, and you might have a hard time building up a large loyal audience if your voice comes through sounding more like a telephone conversation than a professional radio broadcast. Your exact needs depend on your budget and the nature of your podcast—for example, if you’re creating a music podcast with just a little bit of commentary, you probably don’t need much of a microphone, but if each episode is about an hour of your voice, you may want to invest in a more professional microphone setup. Here are some suggestions for all kinds of budgets.
