Hi Gang,
I thought it'd be fun to post the list of gear I'm using for my Podcast Studio. I'm shooting for the stars with this and hope within a 18 to 24 months to become a nationally recognized show. I recently read an article in Forbes written by the undisputed king of Podcasting, Adam Carolla. In this article he wrote about what he believes is necessary to to do Podcasting right if you want to make it as a Podcaster. I'm happy to report what Adam had on his list is also what I have on mine. Adam states one should buy the best gear they can afford so as to sound high-end. He also states that he chose to make his Podcast studio look as professional as possible which would only add to his cred when he gave tours to sponsors he was courting. Makes sense to me.
Here's the list:
