Podcasting Equipment Review Series on The Mac Observer
Nov 6th, 2006 | By Elisabeth Lewin | Category: Audio Podcasting, Podcasting Hardware 
Ricky Spero at The Mac Observer’s Weekly Roundup podcast tells Podcasting News that they have begun a regular feature where they try out different podcast hardware. Starting with popular podcasting microphones, they’ll eventually work their way through a whole host of recording equipment.
How will it work? “Each week, we’re looking at a different podcasting microphone; we record the show with it, talk about the mic briefly, then switch to a different mic on the following show,” Spero says.
They explain the series on the October 21 episode. The feed for the whole Weekly Roundup series is here.
