RODE PodMic
USB & XLR which means it can either connects directly to phone, computer or interface (if using). Comes with software to enhance the tone of your voice. If I had to start all over, I’d get this. Good for beginners and pros.

Samson Q2U
USB mic. A fave budget option because it sounds good for the price. Plug directly into your computer with USB.
No interface required. Also, check my link Better Stand for Samson Q2U.

Rode Procaster
This is a great mic that’s a little more affordable. I use this one.
*Requires an interface

Electro-voice RE20
This is my dream mic.* It has that NPR-broadcasty tone w/o being muddy like the Shure SM7B.
*My birthday is June 14.

Shure MV88+
Mic for your phone. I love this mic it’s SO fun. This one sounds way better than other small phone mics. You might want the (slightly) longer cable but make sure it's for this mic.

This is the easiest podcasting & streaming interface. I recommend this to everyone. *Requires a cable to connect to a smartphone.
