[Dennis Amey]

Hi I'm Dennis, what hardware and software do I need to do a podcast with my nephew in California and I'm in Michigan, I'm not worried about the time difference, it's gear that's issue.so far the only thing I've come up with is recording on Skype, I'm in the process of setting that up.is this my only option? Any suggestions would be awesome thanks ✌️

Gear always comes down to budget... hard to recommend stuff when I'm not sure what you're looking to spend and the production value you desire to have.

As @Aaron said, if you give us a budget it'll be easier to give you a recommendation/suggestion

Rite I'm setting up Skype which so far seems to be the cheapest,so I guess a ballpark figure for something like that n the most expensive

I'm set up for Skype which seems to be the cheapest,my op budget is kinda small for now, so maybe my Max would be like 2-300 bux even then I probably have to save up for a bit for that

Are you saying a USB mic n Skype are my best option for me to do a YouTube podcast with my nephew in California?

 

[Damon]

Yes, use the USB mic to get quality audio, then use skype to record podcast itself using the USB as your audio source. Nothing worse than junk audio in a podcast. Just like making good videos, you'll need a good microphone for your podcast.

You could also use OBS with skype to get more options in editing. OBS is free. Then you can use audacity which again is free, and then distribution wouldn't cost anything if you post to the free podcast websites!

your going to need something such as headphone or the model that fits in the ear so you can hear the conversation.
