Equipment Recommendations

Microphones

  • Heil PR40: This is the premium podcast mic. If you are looking for the highest quality, and best sound go with this one. YourPodcastGuru.com/Heil
  • BoomStand: This boom arm is designed for the Heil but you can use it for the ATR2100 as well. Make sure your mic is always in the right position with this. YourPodcastGuru.com/BoomStand
  • Shock Mount: Helps prevent noise from moving the mic or bumping the table. Use if you have the Heil. YourPodcastGuru.com/ShockMount
  • Pop Filter: This helps prevent those plosives from happening. Another must if you have the Heil. YourPodcastGuru.com/PopFilter
  • Rode SmartLav: Podcasting on the go, recording a speech, or video podcasting. This is the best sounding lavaliere that I've found. YourPodcastGuru.com/SmartLav

Hardware

  • Roland R-05: Great for field recording, and as an external recorder. YourPodcastGuru.com/Roland
  • Behringer 802 Mixer: A great starter mixer. YourPodcastGuru.com/802
  • Mackie Mixer: This is the premium level mixer. When you are ready to step up to higher quality go with the Mackie. I recommend getting an eight channel mixer. YourPodcastGuru.com/Mackie
  • iMic: Do you need to connect your mixer to your computer in order to run Skype interviews? This adapter is your answer. YourPodcastGuru.com/imic
  • Mic Flag: Add that extra element of professionalism to your studio by getting your business or podcast logo printed on a mic flag. This flag works great with the Heil boom stand and either the Heil PR40 or ATR2100. YourPodcastGuru.com/micflag
  • Logitech Pro C920 webcam: If you are recording video on your Skype interviews, I highly recommend going with this camera instead of the built in camera. You will get a much cleaner, clearer picture. YourPodcastGuru.com/webcam
  • Sony Headphones: These headphones are the ones used by many radio stations, they will give you the truest sound to help you monitor your recording process. YourPodcastGuru.com/headphones

Software

  • eCamm Call Recorder for Skype: If you need a simple way to record Skype interviews this is the best program out there. YourPodcastGuru.com/CallRecorder
  • Adobe Audition: Edit your podcast audio like a pro. This is the only program I recommend. YourPodcastGuru.com/audition
  • Screenflow: The best software for capturing and editing screen recordings. I am amazed at how much I use this program once I got it, everything from how to subscribe to a podcast videos, to content for my audience to instructions for my team. YourPodcastGuru.com/screenflow
  • 1Password: While this program is not directly related to podcast, way too many people have poor online security habits. 1Password solves that problem plus it makes it ridiculously easy to login to websites. YourPodcastGuru.com/OnePassword
