First, it's about time you began to learn the joys of podcasting, Rox. About time :)
As to mics / audio gear want to pipe in with this: New gear is good. But the same $100 you spend on a low-end new mic would get you two really good high-end used ones. Lots of gear around the Interwebs. Lectrosonics and Sennheiser are two respected wireless names in pro audio circles. Trim and Tram were / are solid choices for lavalieres. Add Sanken COS-11 and Countryman B6, too. Set yourself up with ebay alerts for those names like "Lectrosonics Wireless" "Sennheiser Wireless" "Trim Lav" "Tram Lav", etc. When you get hits, go to the manufacturer's site and familiarize yourself with each unit's specs. Contact me off-list if you have any questions about the gear. Happy to make an email to a seller on your behalf if you wish. You can likely get a $2,000 unit for $500; a $350 lav for $50-75. Something to add into your thinking. Jan On Jan 29, 2008 3:30 AM, Roxanne Darling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Andrew - and to Dina, sorry I default to wireless!
