My Mobile Podcasting Setup:
Recorder: iRiver iFP-799 – these have been discontinued, but you can find them on eBay for $50-$150. Any 700- or 800-series iRiver will do, though I prefer the placement of 700-series microphone jack.
Giant Squid Audio Lab Mini Gold-Plated Omni Mic ($15)
RadioShack Tie-clip Microphone Windscreen (Item #33-4006 – $2.99 for 4)
For Recording and Editing at Home:
