Starting a podcast comes down to three things: a clean microphone, a way to record and mix, and a stand or arm to hold it. Here's the exact kit we recommend.
1. Microphone
A wireless lavalier (like the Ulanzi J11) is the easiest start for one or two people. For a fixed studio, a broadcast USB/XLR mic gives the richest sound.
2. Recorder / mixer
The RODE Rodecaster Duo is an all-in-one production studio — plug in your mics, add sound pads, and record straight to an SD card or your computer. No separate interface needed.
3. Stand or arm
A tabletop boom arm keeps the mic at mouth height and off the desk, so you get consistent, clean audio every episode.
