Updated this with some new information. We'll eventually make a new RPD Dispatch section on the main site, once the design is in place. For now, please use the podcast generator page as the download archive.

I'm curious what you guys are using on the podcast to transmit. I just purchased this baby on Carn's recommendation.

Just a cheap shitty logitech that I found on the floor of my flatmates bedroom.
Don't worry, it's all good. It doesn't sound like I'm standing out in a snowstorm while we record...

Funny, I sent an text to Carn a few weeks ago to get the name of those, 'cause I'm going to order a pair myself.

That first time I sent something in and sounded like I was coming from within the labs I had just a small open mic which I had to hold or could clip on to my shirt as a lapel mic. I purchased the following week one of those Logitech Clear Chat USB headsets, which I can use on my PC and PS3 so I wouldn't sound like I was in the middle of nowhere. Nothing amazing, gets the job done.

Get one of these - http://www.maplin.co.uk/usb2.0-podca...rophone-228548 - it's not bad.

Although, for a cheaper alternative, my friend prefers this - http://www.maplin.co.uk/plantronics-...crophone-97616

Since you never (more like rarely) really say a word... I laughed

I told you, he's busy trying to find Zombrex for his daughter.

Just got these in the other day and they are quite nice. I don't think I can go with a headset that has a cord now. I've been spoiled! The only complaint I have is they cup the ears rather than going around them. It's a minor complaint, but they do make my ears hurt (since I wear glasses). Moving them forward a bit seems to help though.

I'm really surprised by the range they get. I was down three floors and it was still transmitting. It does seem to have its quirks with range though, it won't go through to my room from the front room, but it'll go through 3 floors (including two apartments) and into the basement? I don't get it, lol.

Rob, I was using the clearchat a while back too. They are quite nice but I eventually ran over the cord with my chair and they died ;(

Edit: Son of a bitch. Ice just bought these. They fit extremely comfortably over your ear, even if you have glasses. They also swivel so it'll fit any shape/size head. The most insane part (besides the price) is the noise cancelling effect these have. When you turn them on, all the sound in the room stops. Its completely bizarre and like you entered another dimension or something. You can still hear people, but they sound like they are talking through a cup or something. VERY weird but very awesome. They are way too expensive though, and don't have a mic ;( Their mic version...$1100 :O
