Best Podcast Setups for Beginners

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, 2-person podcasts, and 3 - 4 person podcasts using the following criteria:

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

[UPDATE] Audio-Technica has discontinued the ATR2100 and replaced it with the higher-priced ATR2100x. We currently recommend the Samson Q2U for new podcasters.
