There is a lot a truth to this, but along with a great microphone, you also need a pop filter and of course the software to record your episodes onto your computer. So---here’s a hint, you can literally go on amazon.com today and be up and ready to star your five minute show by Monday for less than $100. 1. Blue Microphone ( This is what I use). It is a great microphone and can be used for a multitude of things. 2. Pop Filter (this helps with voice breath noise reduction). You will be surprised by the amount of breathing that happens when we talk. Well--we can't help this. But we can reduce it. 3. Leapic audio editor (this program is free) You an use it in its entirety for free and after a few weeks you will get the hang of it.  If you are a techy person, maybe a lot sooner than that. I maybe migrating to another platform because this software does crash alot. Which gets annoying, otherwise if you are on a shoe-string budget this is certainly a great option. Finally I have recorded all of my episodes thus far in my walk-in closet. When you are starting out like myself and you have no sponsors for your show i.e. money. You have to do what you have to do, find yourself a quiet place that you can record quality podcast episodes. Your audience wouldn’t even know it. :30 Take Em To Church We all have the gift to say something meaningful. So--- say it. Start your podcast, be a gift to the world. No this is not a money making machine right now. But it can be used as a tool to help build your brand and touch someone’s life in the process.
