Technical podcasting questions

[gabeja]

I been wondering about doing a podcast for a while now, and was curious about recording equitmant and mics. Namely, what recording equitmant should i use specifically? what mics? what would they plug into. What would be the best way to record someone from distance? Phone? Skype?
Thanks.

Evertyhing I've heard says "Just get any mic and start", if it goes well then you can start upgrading.

Recording from Skype is easy and surprisingly good quality
