This is the best budget-friendly podcast microphone on the market. It's a cardioid, dynamic microphone, which is what you want for podcasting. It does a great job at isolating the vocal and produces a rich broadcast tone.

Tip - Place this mic 3-4 inches from your mouth.

It's USB and XLR compatible. We recommend connecting it via USB, and then graduating to using it via its XLR connector, with an audio interface.
