Better Podcast Gear

Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

Hey, Podcasters!

Podcast equipment has gotten a lot better over the last few years.

Unfortunately, it's also gotten a lot more confusing.

There are hundreds of microphones, dozens of audio interfaces, and no shortage of YouTube videos telling you the "best" setup. It's easy to spend weeks researching gear instead of recording your next episode.

That's why we put together ​Podcast Equipment: What I Learned from 500 Episodes​. Instead of reviewing every microphone on the market, it focuses on the handful of equipment decisions that actually make a difference so you can build a setup you'll be happy with for years.

One of those decisions is whether to choose a USB or XLR microphone.

That's exactly what we cover in this week's episode of Podcasting Q&A. We break down the tradeoffs, explain who each option is best for, and hopefully save you from buying more microphone than you actually need.

Whether you're starting from scratch or making a few upgrades, these resources will help you build a setup that works for you!
