ThePodcastHost Weekly Digest: Stop over-spending on podcast mics
|
Hullo there! Unless you're an eccentric millionaire (I find myself typing out that caveat a lot these days, and, to date, nobody has ever disagreed), you probably approach buying anything with the ethos of "What's the best quality I can get for the lowest cost?" But if you're not careful, you can easily spend a fortune on podcast equipment. Even mics alone can run into the several hundreds. Well, I'm here to tell you to put that credit card away. You can pick up a superb podcasting mic for less than a box of five Space Marines at your local Warhammer shop. And you won't even have to take it home and paint it. In our Best Budget Mics guide, you'll find three excellent options priced between $48 and $80. You'll also get some Peter Rabbit lore to offset my Warhammer reference, here.
