Title sequence to videos or podcastsEquipment: You really only need a mic to get audio.
Blu Snowball Microphone ; This one is the best bang for your buck. Great great mic, relatively low price.
Live Interview Mic ; Much better quality mic than the Snowball but more importantly this one allows you to plugin a lapel mic so you can mic your subject on the spot.
