Ask Engadget: Cheap portable podcasting gear?

Ask Engadget

It's Thursday evening, which means it's time for another installment of Ask Engadget. Last week our own Dave Zatz asked for some advice on picking a new digital camera (he settled on Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FX9, by the way), this week Pam is looking for some new gear for podcasting on the cheap:


I'm doing podcasting with MixMeister Propaganda. Works like a charm from my desktop and all I use is a cheap mic/headset combo thing. I want to start recording interviews/ambient sound to use in my podcasts. I bought an Olympus voice recorder, but the background noise is terrible. I'd love to see an "Ask Engadget" on portable podcasting hardware. I'd like to be able to get away with under 200, mic included. Tips on selecting podcasting hardware would be SO welcome.

Any advice?
