Podcasting Gear Recs from Podcasters<\/h2>\n

Mur Lafferty<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Podcast<\/a>The first woman podcaster entered into the Podcaster Hall of Fame, <\/span>Mur Lafferty<\/span><\/a> is the host of <\/span>I Should Be Writing<\/span><\/a>, a podcast designed to help you get past writing blocks. Mur doesn\u2019t stop at this podcast but also hosts three more and is an award-winning author plus founder of an awesome community \u2014 The Ink Stained Fabulists!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a new podcaster, Mur suggests something that has decent quality whether you are at home or traveling. Zoom products are her go-tos \u2014 <\/span>Zoom iQ6 Stereo X\/Y Microphone<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Zoom H1n Portable Recorder<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For under $100, Mur would purchase a dynamic microphone for a home setup from Zoom \u2014 <\/span>Zoom Dynamic Microphone for Podcasts<\/span><\/a>. As some non-Amazon related purchases, for editing she discovered Amadeus Pro is more stable for Mac users and is currently $60 a month through the Mac App Store. When it comes to your logo, a Canva subscription at $13 a month is the best money a non-graphic designer can spend. (There is also a free Canva version!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Podcast Hall of Famer, astronomer and co-host of the <\/span>Astronomy Cast podcast<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Dr. Pamela Gay<\/span><\/a> is also a writer and technologist. Dedicated to teaching and engaging people in learning and doing astronomy through podcasting and social media, she takes listeners on facts-based journeys through our Cosmos each week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
