My Comment on this report:
Is there a difference between subscribing to a YouTube channel and subscribing to a podcast? I think they are the same....except you can't get the videos from the iTunes store unless the content creator makes them available. But 'technically' speaking having a YouTube channel is a video podcast.

The ATR2100-USB from Audio-Technica is a fabulous microphone as either a main mic for a casual podcaster or as a mic for use by guests or in the field. It includes an XLR connector for studio use and a USB connection for stand-alone use. There is even a headphone jack to hear the return audio as you would want with Skype. Best of all, the microphone is available for less than $50US. It's not a Heil PR40, but it's a lot more useful than a Shure SM58.
UPDATE: April 14, 2012. Leo Laporte has just discovered the awesomeness of the ATR2100-USB microphone. At one point during his show, he did an A-B comparison with the fabulous Heil PR40. The difference was not as dramatic as you would think. Via Mike Phillips

Test your Calls To Action It’s rare that you, podcasting genius, do not ask your audience to do something, such as: listen to my show, review me in iTunes, subscribe to my show, or send me feedback. Have you ever tested what works? Try the following basic tips for a while to see where you get the most bang for your buck in social media. Use bit.ly and create different bit.ly links for each of your episodes that you are posting on social media, depending on the platform you are using ie. bit.ly/yourpodcastepisodenumber-fb, bit.ly/yourpodcastepisodenumber-twitter Give it a go for a month and then check out the data. See how many people clicked through, and where they were coming from most consistently. This can also help you see if your social media updates are actually converting folks.

It sounds difficult, but there’s a nifty little trick out there to help you with this skill: start practicing to speak with a pencil in your mouth once a day

I’m told there are exceptions, but I’m yet to hear one that impressed me enough to recommend it to you. If you want me to recommend a USB microphone I’m going to go for the Röde Podcaster, which I use when creating video walk-thrus. I use a Heil PR-40 dynamic mic when recording podcasts.
