How to start a podcast in 2024: a step-by-step guide - Transistor.fm
To start podcasting, you'll only need a USB microphone, a pop filter, headphones, and a computer (or tablet).
Shure MV7
If you're looking for a high-quality microphone to plug directly into your computer with USB, we recommend the <anchor>Shure MV7</anchor> ($249 USD). Inspired by their SM7B, Shure created the MV7 specifically for podcasters. It's a pro-level dynamic mic, but (unlike the SM7B) has both USB and XLR outputs.
