That’s something I noticed a while ago: all podcasters have those huge microphones in front of them - sometimes with a gigantic boom - that wouldn’t look out of place on 1950s TV. But unlike in the 1950s, they’re not trying to hide them, no no: the more visible, the bigger, the better.

I can’t figure out the point of that prop. If I did a podcast, I’d try to unclutter the shot myself.

    A clip on mic + mixing is like 95% as good as a condenser mic with a pop filter but if you’re sitting down in a studio you may as well use a condernser mic with a pop filter so you can get good quality sound.

      Totally this. In my experience, the smaller mics are also more expensive. I got a pretty insane studio condenser for like 40 eurobucks.

        You need a good combuster and equalizer to surpress grab . I always opt for the bigger mic, it also hides the teenage pimples
