4 Basic Equipment Options for Your Podcast
What equipment should I purchase for my podcast?
When I first started my podcast, I did everything in my power to avoid the technology portion of launching it. After doing research on the different equipment options, I got overwhelmed. I wanted my podcast to sound amazing, so I thought I needed to purchase the most expensive equipment available. Every blog I read explained that I needed a $200 budget and some stated I needed a camera which would cost an extra $500. Who wants to spend that type of money when starting out? I didn't even know at the time if I was going to make money from podcasting. Would I ever receive a return from this investment?
With that being stated, I found a way to start podcasting with a minimal amount to invest in equipment while still producing quality sound audio. Here is a list of equipment to start the foundation of your podcast below.
Microphone: Movo VR10 - $40
Recorder: Voice Memo app for iOS users or Voice Recorder app for Android users - FREE
Editing Software: Audacity - FREE
Tripod: Fugetek Mini Tripod - $10
