About this episode
When you're shopping around for a new microphone for your podcast, you're going to find a variety of opinions about which one is the best for you.
You'll have some people telling you that you really need to get a USB microphone like the Blue Yeti, while others say, if you really want to be serious about it, you should get an XLR microphone like the Rode PodMic.
So in this episode, we're gonna break down the difference between USB microphones and XLR microphones and to help you decide which one is going to be the best decision for your podcast setup.
Check out our review of the Samson Q2U and why we think it's the best microphone for new podcasters.
