Best podcast equipment kits
To start a podcast you need a mic, something to hold it close to your mouth, and headphones to hear yourself. These kits put the mic and a boom arm in one box, and the USB ones record the day they arrive. XLR-only kits also need an audio interface; kits with both plugs let you add one later.
