I agree, unfortunately they have a conflict of interest with their work. Jfm is still on the hunt for local Betty to commit to BnB and help resurrect it.

Re: What audio gear are you macsturbators using?
In the studio we all use the same mics. Drops in quality in the recordings that don't involve Skype is 99% likely to be due to microphone technique, rather than due to equipment. "Some people" have real difficulty staying on mic while speaking haha. We use "Condenser" microphones which are not ideal for environments where you can't control the acoustics. You can often hear the neighbour badly singing in the shower in our podcasts. For this reason a lot of podcasts use "Dynamic" microphones. They help you get a cleaner recording but I find the voices in the recording to be unnatural, which is fine in broadcast radio but not in podcasts. To get a dynamic microphone that sounds as nice as a condenser you need to spend upwards from $400 per mic.
