Hm...I use a wireless lavalier microphone I bought on eBay that's intended for DJs or people giving presentations. I think I spent $80 on it, and I think it uses FM on one of the commercial bands (not sure, though). It's not perfect, but a little noise gating on the editing console cleans it right up. You can hear it in action, without any noise gating but with a little background music to hide the room noise and a teeny bit of static on the first "Tiki Tips" episode on Freetime. It's worked for me, especially for being so cheap.
