Podcasting has been experiencing a renaissance lately, and for good reason. Podcasts can be about a wide variety of topics, from Apple to sports, comedy, storytelling and so much more. It’s a great time to get into podcasting because the barrier to entry is so low and you don’t have to break the bank to buy a totally workable setup. Some of the greatest podcasts in the iTunes Top Charts are regularly recorded using sub-$100 to $300 mics. Whether you want to gain influence in a community or nerd out about the latest iPhone, a podcast is a great place to do it. Lose it app for macros. At one time it was possible to pass off a podcast created with the barest of tools—the microphone built into a MacBook or iMac and a free audio editing application. While some podcasts are still created that way (and succeed almost entirely because of the quality of their content rather than their less-than-pristine production) the world expects better sound from today’s podcasts. To produce that better sound, a higher class of tools is necessary. That said, you don’t need to bust your bank account to make a podcast with decent sound. Here are some tools we like and recommend. ![]() Budget setup You needn’t spend hundreds of dollars to produce a podcast. With any Mac made in the last several years and a microphone, you’re well on your way. GarageBand is a quite capable application for creating podcasts. And it’s free as part of the iLife suite with any new Mac. The current version of GarageBand, ( ), is a universal application and so can be run on an Intel or PowerPC Mac. GarageBand can slow down when it’s packed with multiple tracks, so if you intend to create a podcast with eight or more tracks, you’ll be happiest working on an Intel Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or better. The one piece of equipment that will make the most difference to the sound of your podcast is a microphone. The sound of the microphones built into a MacBook or iMac don’t cut it. They pick up too much room noise and the recorded sound of a voice lacks fullness. To cut back on expenses you’ll want to get a USB microphone. With a USB mic, you don’t need an audio interface. These microphones come in two varieties—headset and desktop microphones. Jun 5, 2018 - During Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference this week, the company has a podcast studio setup for the second year for both press. For the most part, inexpensive headsets don’t sound very good. They’re noisy and the mic is positioned so close to your mouth that sibilance (the lisping, hissing sound you get from the letter “s”) and plosives (the popping sound a mic picks up when you utter the letter “b” or “p”) are almost unavoidable.
