Man do podcasters love their microphones! And it seems that there are a lot of podcasters interested in knowing more about what microphone to use as well as what others use.
We asked on twitter: What’s your favorite podcasting microphone?
It certainly was a lively conversation!
I’m amazed by all the high end microphones our producers are using! I think we’re going to have to do some diggin’ for a future post to provide y’all with some ‘economic’ choices. 🙂
