The quality of your microphone can make the difference between a good podcast and a professional podcast. The Podcaster from Rode is one microphone that can give you that studio sounding quality without requiring extra hardware.
The Podcaster is a dynamic mic that connects to your Mac via USB and does not require any type of breakout box or phantom power. It is self powered, so that means you donit need to worry about external power supplies, although it does need a powered USB port. Connecting the Mic to one of your Macis built-in USB ports, or into a powered USB hub will do the trick.
The mic ships with a USB cable and a mic stand adapter, so itis ready to go when you take it out of the box. No special drivers are needed, either. Actually, there are no special drivers or additional software for Mac Podcaster users, even though the manual says there are.
