The podcast landscape is changing rapidly, and so are the tools and gadgets that podcasters use. From gear that keeps your recordings sounding clean to tools that streamline your workflow, it can all feel overwhelming. This holiday season, we’ve rounded up our top picks that every podcaster will love.
Elgato Prompter
Don’t let your set-up be a distraction. The Elgato Prompter allows you to keep your eyes on the camera while reading scripts or notes, making every recording session feel natural and polished.
The Prompter really is the first of its kind with a built-in display. It lets you not only project text, but also apps and windows. It can help transform your video workflows by allowing you to stay organized while maintaining eye contact with your audience.
iFootage A400
Clean up your cluttered studio space this holiday season with the iFootage A400 Monopod. This monopod will keep your camera, microphone, or lights stable without taking up extra space. Its heavy-duty flat base replaces bulky tripod legs, making it less of a tripping hazard. It’s the perfect fit for a tight floor space in a small studio. The standard screw mount will allow you to easily mount cameras, lights, and accessories.

It’s also packed with features such as AI noise reduction, tone effect controls, EQ, de-essing, and a master compressor to keep your audio clean and consistent without background disruptions. You can also easily keep tabs on everyone’s signal with four onboard headphone outputs that feature individual volume controls for convenient monitoring wherever you decide to record.
