E86 - Six Items That You Should Consider Getting When Starting Your Podcast - The Podcast Owner's Manual Mini Series

Here is a list of basic gear that you'll need to record a podcast:

A usb microphone: A good quality usb microphone is essential for producing high-quality audio. There are many different types of microphones to choose from, including dynamic microphones, condenser microphones, and USB microphones.

Headphones: Wired Headphones are essential for monitoring your audio during recording and editing. Choose a pair that is comfortable and has good sound quality.

A recording device: You'll need a device to capture your audio, such as a computer with recording software or a digital recorder. I use a Windows PC and the free Digital Audio Workstation (D.A.W.) Audacity.

A pop filter: A pop filter is a device that attaches to your microphone and helps to reduce popping sounds caused by hard consonants, such as "p" and "b." This can help improve the overall audio quality of your podcast.

A microphone stand: A microphone stand can help to position your microphone at the right height and distance from your mouth. I like the standard on stage mic stand that you will see at any concert. I personally do not like to have my microphone stand bolted to my desk - I prefer a stand alone mic stand for my set up.

Cables: You'll need cables to connect your microphone to your recording device if you choose to not use a usb mic.


This is the basic gear that you'll need to get started with recording a podcast. You may want to consider adding additional equipment, such as a mixer or additional microphones, as your podcast grows.
