Improve Your Podcast Audio Before You Buy Anything

Change the room
Record away from bare walls and windows. Soft furnishings reduce reflections and often improve sound more than a new microphone.
Change your distance
Speak close to the microphone and keep the distance consistent. This raises your voice relative to room noise.
Set your levels
Aim for healthy peaks without clipping, and leave headroom. You can raise the level later but you cannot repair distortion.
