A lot has been written about podcasting diversity. And now that podcasters are better connected to each other than ever, and it's easier than ever to discover podcasts, we're finding that podcasting is more diverse than many originally thought.

We're seeing this diversity in the events being organized around podcasting. Many are local, regional, or very specific in their topics.

One of those events is ShePodcasts, a podcasting event for women that's coming to Atlanta.

The film/TV business has IMDB. The music business has AllMusic. And the podcasting business now has Podchaser.

If you want more traffic from Google, you (and your podcast) need to be listed on Podchaser. These "database" are consistently in the top search results.

You also can benefit by signing up for Podchaser's "feed" option, which is similar to the timeline on Facebook or Twitter. The feature is currently not available to the general public, but you can get early access by using "bigpodcast" as the access key.

In the end, it's my belief that the best microphone for podcasting is the one you use, but WhatPods has released a list of top podcasting microphones based on responses from members in their community.

In this episode, I talk about the "Top 10" microphones mentioned on this list and share my experiences with them.

Mentions: My main podcasting microphone, BP40 by Audio-Technica, didn't make the list. The microphone I use on the radio, RE-20 by Electro-Voice, did.
