I’ll be helping to record a couple of interviews for a podcast in the next little while. looking for mic recommendations.

these puppies are currently €96 on thomann, are they any use? or any thoughts on what I should get?

any and all advice appreciated

Have you considered shooting the person doing the podcast in the shins?

Those rode's are fine. The market is peaked for home podcasting and WFH so the supply/volume of sales levels for nice podcast mic's is as good as it's gonna get. I think i used two of those for a live music application at one point and they are fine. Get pop sheilds for sure. The recording environment being somewhat treated counts for a lot.

It's all gonna be compressed down to MP3 and listened bluetoothed to a tincan so i wouldn't be mortgaging the house if that's the only application.

yep, I’ll be treating the environment (aka hanging blankets on walls in a small room)

about the pop shields, yep, I was thinking the same... though the description on thomann says that they have a built-in pop filter, but I presume those won’t be too great.

this is also an effort to try to get the gear organised in advance, partly to try to ensure that everyone involved will be using the *same* mic, which hopefully makes the task of getting a nice consistent outcome that little bit easier

thanks for the thoughts on it

The audio bar for podcasts is horribly low. One podcast I know just records straight into an iPhone and sounds better than most.
