Top 5 Tools All New Podcasters Should Have

Oct 6

Microphone

This is my favorite low-cost microphone for podcasting. It can be used with a simple USB cord or XLR cord, pairing it with another tool like the Focusrite Vocaster. You can also change the look with almost endless options of microphones covered, see my favorite below.

Microphone Covers

I love this pack of foam microphone covers. Not only to you get a great variety, but you get 2 of each color. I love my pink, but also changing it up for holidays and special events.

Ring Light

I purchased this ring light in 2021 and have been using it in my home office daily since. Great ring light with it’s own power cord.

Wireless Lapel Microphones

These mics are wireless and great for travel or use at big events where you are walking around and talking to or interviewing many different people. They can be used with your computer or phone.

Adjustable Desk Table with Wheels

I use this movable desk in my bedroom. It allows me to work and record sitting or standing. Great option if you want to be able to move into areas for better recordings, like rooms that have carpet, drapes, and other soft items which make a better sound environment for podcasting.
