Microphones
Low End
Logitech ClearChat Comfort/USB Headset H390
This noise-canceling microphone cuts background noise-and rotates out of the way when you’re not using it.
Medium Range
Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone
The ATR2100-USB is designed to take you from the stage to the studio and beyond.The microphone plugs right into your computer’s USB port, and functions seamlessly with your favorite recording software.
High End
Heil Sound PR40 Multipurpose Dynamic Microphone
The Heil Sound PR40 is ideal for live sound, recording, and broadcast applications. (Note: You will need this XLR cord if you are plugging into a mixer, and this XLR to USB cord if you are plugging directly into your CPU )
Accessories for the Heil PR40
Heil Sound Shockmount for Heil PR30 and PR40 Mics
The PRSM Shock Mount is a flexible support system that helps suppress low-frequency rumble on the microphone line by absorbing and damping vibrations picked up from the studio desk or console.
Heil Sound PL-2T Overhead Broadcast Boom
The Heil Sound PL-2T overhead boom uses a system of perfectly balanced internal springs rather than the unsightly, mechanically unstable outboard springs used on booms of much lesser quality.
BSW RE27POP Pop Filter for the Heil PR-40
Fine mesh metal screen diminishes undesirable P-Popping while keeping the integrity of the hi-end frequency response.

It’s widely known that M-Audio studio speakers are music industry bestsellers*. The accurate sound they provide allows you to go beyond simply enjoying music and videos—to creating your own.
Webcam (video podcasting)
The Webcam that I use for everything; webinars, videos, tutorial, google hangouts…is the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920. This webcam is incredibly versatile, and I simple love it! Video blog, stream, share, rant, rap, sing and dance with ease.
Recording/editing software
My favorite by a long shot and I couldn’t live without it. AA works for both PC and Mac, and is simply outstanding when it comes to what you can do with your Podcast in the post production world.
The price works (free) as does Audacity for a solid recording/editing software on both PC’s and Mac’s. Audacity is a free open source digital audio editor and recording computer software application.
GB is also free, and comes pre-installed on Mac’s and is Mac only. GarageBand turns your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio.
