energy, so pick topics you are passionate about. Good luck to everyone out there and

Tutorial’s about podcasting and how to start one. Here’s one, but there are many!

Here are some things we’ve used or look to be pretty good or more affordable

 Mic or Head set ($20+)

Logitech
Cyber Acoustics
Samson Audio C01UPAK C01U Microphone and Podcast Pack

 Audio Interface ($75+) this lets you plug a mic into your computer using a USB
connection, which is far better than using the direct plug in mic input on your
computer. The first handful of episodes we did plugged into the computer mic
input and the quality using the USB is SO much higher. You will also have less
problems with interference and noise taking over your audio tracks, and if you
want to use multiple mics or headsets this will be needed.
