This has to be the #1 question I get from new podcasters: what’s the best podcast microphone for beginners? In this episode, I’ll explain the difference between condenser and dynamic microphones, and why I recommend USB microphones over XLR microphones for most beginners. (And if this is all alphabet soup, I promise I’ll keep it simple!) I’ll also share the two must-have accessories you’ll need in addition to the mic. Plus before we go, I’ll share the top mistake I see podcasters making with their new microphones, where they aren’t really using the microphone to its full potential.
