Started with Garageband as I'm a mac user. It was ok. Moved to Hindenburg Journalist - good, but limited to 5 plugins at that time. Tried Adobe Audition, great tool, not a fan of the recurring cost. Now using Reaper. Paid for it, though you can use it without paying. Support software devs if you can. Very powerful tool. Can use all the plugins I want. Also do side chaining and groups. Highly recommend if you're a gear head.
TweetUsed a couple different mics and settled on the RE320. Appreciate the sound it produces for my voice. Not sure what else there is to say. It is not cheap, but that's not why I bought it. Sounded better than my Heil PR40, for my voice.

Remote co-host uses this and sounds great. Plugged right into his mac via USB connection, no issues. He also monitors himself from the output on the mic. I'm very impressed, though I heard Audio Technica has since discontinued the ATR2100.

Moved from mixer, compressor/limiter/gate and imic (eesh!) to a Scarlet 2i2, 2nd gen. Works like a champ. Metal casing is nice and sturdy, amps are good, but could use more gain for the mics I use - but most interfaces may come up short so no knock on Focusrite.

I have a remote co-host and moved from Zencastr (too many drift issues) to Cast. It does not give you the option to record to wav files, but the MP3 is decent quality. It records locally and uploads to the web. I don't use the studio or hosting feature. It offers a backup file for me, as I use Audio Hijack locally, and a primary method for my remote co-host. We record about an hour a week, and the plan we use is $10/mo

Love these. You'll often find them in TV shows, movies, etc that show people doing recording. I don't suffer ear fatigue and have good sound, no noise cancelling, as I've used them for monitors at one point.

As of this update, we use Zoom only for video. We mute the audio. I do pay for the plan and use Zoom for other online meetings outside of podcasting.

Went with Libsyn for hosting this show as they've been around a while, have good features. I only use them to host my audio files, i don't use my acocunt as a web presence. Since this show is now on hiatus, I go to the minimum plan, $5/mo so that the files remain in place.

Blubrry has been around and is not a fly-by-night organization. They got my show into Spotify when it was a bit tougher. The user interface is very easy.

I use Audio Hijack because I have a Mac, and to record my effects and my voice locally into their own separate tracks. I can also capture sound from any resource that produces audio.
