Yesterday on Twitter, as I have a fair few podcaster followers/followees, I asked if anyone could recommend a decent microphone. Expecting a list of brand names and a budget, what I received instead was a very generous offer of a loaned microphone from @bealers – thank you so much!

Akra dropped in after work and brought it home and here it is: the Samson CO3U Podcast Recording Pack. The difference in recording quality to my little tinny headset is absolutely mind-blowing as well as being allowed to borrow a fairly expensive piece of kit.

Must start planning some decent topics to talk about now… *gulp*
