Today I review the brand new Rode PodMic, an entry level budget podcasting microphone. I also compare it to the Shure SM58, sE Electronics V7, and Sennheiser E835. This microphone seems to be tuned specifically for spoken word, and it does it’s job very well. At $100, Rode has made a very compelling option for entry level podcasters.
