Condenser, dynamic, omni-directional, large diaphragm, small diaphragm, phantom power, pre-amps? What do you need, what is best? Well there really isn’t a clear answer, but here is a tutorial over at Transom.org to help you decide.
I personally have a Shure PG58 Dynamic Microphone and an MXL 2003 Condenser. I really like the MXL 2003, great mic, good price. Good luck on your decision, it’s one of the most critical!

Steve Dembo of dembo.org sent me a link to his Podcasting Tutorial “Podcasting, it’s easier than you think”. Check it out. It’s also been added to the Documentation Directory at iPodder.org.

Check out this discussion if your concerned about RIAA music over at Hardcore Insomnia Radio. Yes, we know the RIAA is evil, but are all record labels affiliated with the RIAA evil? If an RIAA label explicitly grants you permission to play their music, should you? Would you?

So are you looking for legal music to fill up your 20gb, 40gb, or 60gb mp3 players? Check out archive.org’s etree archives for taper trader friendly bands. I was just reminded about Camper Van Beethoven from a post by David Slusher of Evil Genious Chronicles. Haven’t listened to them in years, but i’m refinding some old favorites.

Hey guys, it’s been a couple days since i’ve posted. Just thought I’d give a plug for my friends in the Psychobilly Kadillaks and send you over there for some non-riaa music. They have an interesting sound that no one I know of is doing. They are podcast friendly and would be honored for you to play in your podcasts. I have interviewed them on my November 7th show. They played last night in Chicago at the Horseshoe with a Rockabilly band, The Hotrod Huckesters, who I was extremely impressed with. If your ever in Chicago and looking for some good texas bbq and good music, this is the place to go. I don’t think I’ve had a better bbq anywhere.

Man it’s been a slow podcasting day, only four shows in my aggregator all totaling in at under an hour of listening time. News has been slow too, everyone must be at the Apple Store getting their new iPod shuffle. As someone put it over at Podcast Alley in the forums, “Russian Roullette for your ears “, loved that line.
Much thanks to Kris over at Croncast for delivering my daily dose of podcasting “crack”.
