So what do you need to start podcasting to the world?
The basic setup requires:

  1. Internet-connected computer (PC Running Windows XP or a Mac Running OS X) at least 512 MB of RAM, a handful of GB of free space on your hard drive, a Mic input and Headphone output (provided by computer soundcard).
  2. Good quality microphone - They are not as expensive as one would think. You can use your USB connection instead of Mic input if preferred, see Samson CU-01 USB mic which sells for about $70 .
  3. Headsets - You can buy a mic/headset combo such as Plantronics' .Audio 350, which sells for about $40.
  4. Optional: Mixer allows you to connect multiple input sources such as a couple of microphones, cassette, music instrument, etc... see Pevey 6-channel sample.
  5. Optional: MP3 Player. It doesn't have to be an Apple iPod player. Podcasting is non-proprietary.
  6. Optional: Pop Filter For $20 you can get a filter, check it out at Musician's Friend.
