The PodMic USB adds some pretty awesome functionality to Rode’s classic PodMic. But is it worth twice the price?

Rode provided the PodMic USB to me for free, but I’m under no obligation to make a video about it or say anything specific. Read my Ethics Statement about objective reviews, sponsorships, and brand partnerships: https://himynameistom.com/ethics'>https://himynameistom.com/ethics

– Who Am I? –

Hi! My name is Tom Buck, a lifelong A/V nerd and former high school Digital Media teacher. I started this channel in 2017 as a project to share my enthusiasm for everything related to audio and video production.

It's my goal for each video to be interesting/helpful/atleastmildlyentertaining, but I'm an enthusiast and not an expert. You can take a look at my About page to know more about my background, both personally and professionally: https://himynameistom.com/about

My channel is open and welcoming to people of all races, ages, genders, and orientations. I’m glad you’re here.
