Ok guys and gals, if any of you needs a good microphone

to record podcasts for less than 100 bucks... the Samsom Mic might be your solution.

Set up for the Mac was a breeze, and I just tested it with the TV on, (big no-no when recording, but wanted to test that) I had pretty clear sound, with no TV (This is because this is an omnidirectional mike)

It will also work with your IPAD I am told.

Oh and Best Buy had it on sale, so I just got a mike for recordings for the radio that will serve me a long time. It will also work with Dragon (which I have issues training, call that an accent), and is actually pretty clear.

I got mine at Best Buy, for round numbers fifty bucks.

Oh and one down side from some reviewers is that it does not take kindly to falls, but I have yet to meet electronics that do that. It is one of those DUH moments.
