What is it with podcasters' giant microphones? (piefed.social)

That's something I noticed a while ago: all podcasters have those huge microphones in front of them - sometimes with a gigantic boom - that wouldn't look out of place on 1950s TV. But unlike in the 1950s, they're not trying to hide them, no no: the more visible, the bigger, the better.

I can't figure out the point of that prop. If I did a podcast, I'd try to unclutter the shot myself.

Adam Curry, now there's a name I have not seen in a long time.

I watched his show on Europa TV, then MP3s appeared and he jumped on it. He was one of the first (of not the first) podcaster. I think he was the one who came up with the name.

Good times.
