A side from a head stuffed full of ideas and a voice that doesn’t sound like fingernails dragged down a blackboard, your most important requirement for podcasting is a decent mic.
Yes, your phone has one. No, you should never use it in anything other than a real emergency, because it’ll pick up all sorts of unwanted background noise. And even if you’re in ideal recording conditions, like tucked inside a foam-lined, sound-isolated booth (or the budget version – your bedroom wardrobe with a duvet over your head), it won’t produce that precise professional sound you’re after.
