The Yeti by Blue Microphone is big, heavy and should be a staple for any one who needs a portable recording studio. Listen to the podcast and peruse the gallery for more information.

We recorded the podcast on the Yeti using Garage Band with no effects filters. What you hear is what you get. We edited the podcast in Audacity.

One correction to the podcast. We incorrectly said that the Yeti was over a foot tall. In reality it is exactly a foot tall. It also weighs over 3 lbs with the base. (mic 1.2 lbs, base 2.2 lbs).

If you are looking for a backup portable studio or you need a good beginner microphone for your podcast studio, we don’t think you can do any better than the Yeti for $150 or less. In fact, you can get it for well under $150 by following the Amazon link at the top of the article.

Over the past few months, we have not been able to record the show we do with Rick Castellini of HelpMeRick.com. Finally, we were able to get it done this month.

We discuss Google Buzz, Windows Mobile 7, wireless Internet, and much more.

Here’s the show.

On the third Wednesday of every month we join forces with HelpMeRick.com to do a little public affairs show on KAFM 88.1 in Grand Junction, CO. We always discuss tech and pretend to have a topic.

This podcast is a rant. The day I recorded this podcast I had sat in on a roundtable discussion with a group of journalism (newspaper) professionals. After listening to them discuss the struggles of the newspaper industry and advertising, I decided to ask their opinions on social media.

As soon as they began talking I wished that I had a tape recorder running. It was very surprising to discover that social media is not a part of new media – according to the participants who can’t figure out how to get their readership back.

I really messed up the episode number this week. As you will hear, I did the podcast shortly before 2am and I was a little nutty. The episode should be interesting. Few things are better than an rant recorded at 2am.

So, we got our Windows 7 House Party kit. Here’s what it looks like. We added some commentary and subtitles, so make sure that you close any YouTube ads that may come up by clicking on the little X on the lower right side..
