When you're starting your first podcast it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what you need to buy. We break down our recommended setups for solo podcasts, 2person podcasts, and 3 4 person podcasts using the following criteria:

1. Easy to use
2. Grows with you
3. Affordable

[UPDATE] AudioTechnica has discontinued the ATR2100 and replaced it with the higherpriced ATR2100x. We currently recommend the Samson Q2U for new podcasters.
