The Gear I Use to Podcast
My favorite podcast equipment
I get asked almost daily what gear should I use for podcasting?
You can podcast with just a phone, but if you’re wondering what I use then read below.
I picked this gear after years of podcasting, consulting with technical experts, and trying a lot of different equipment.
For audio only podcasts I use a Macbook Pro, XLR microphone, Cloudlifter, interface and headphones.
Microphone
Shure SM7B — This mic is user friendly and very high quality. I’ve tested many mics and I like this mic the best. You will find this mic in many broadcast and podcast studios. This is a staple but it’s expensive at $400. Note, I am an Amazon affiliate and this post contains affiliate links to products. We may receive a commission for purchases made through these links.

A budget friendly option is ATX2100 Purchase Here. This mic plugs into your computer via USB and can also plug into an XLR interface. This mic is versatile and sounds great for the cost. I’ve gifted this mic to friends. I will probably purchase this mic for recording on the road.
