A type of connector used to transmit balanced audio signals. It's a standard connection for professional audio equipment.

A mechanical fastener that attaches a microphone to a stand or boom arm, designed to reduce noise caused by vibrations and handling.

A type of microphone known for its durability and versatility. It's excellent for recording in less than ideal acoustic environments due to its directionality and limited frequency response.

A mount for a microphone that allows it to be positioned close to the speaker's mouth while freeing up desk space and reducing handling noise.

A style of podcasting where the episodes tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end, often including elements such as music and sound effects to enhance the storytelling.
