Record Field Podcasts on your iPhone / iPod Touch
In the past, as a podcaster wanting to audio record field interviews, you would have likely paid US$400 – $US500 to purchase a dedicated portable recorder such as the Zoom H2 or Zoom H4. However, if you own an iPhone or iPod Touch, this may no longer be necessary.
As you know there are a variety of third party audio recording apps for the iPhone and Touch, such as Voxie Pro and Griffin iTalk, but until now there has been no quality microphones available that are suitable for recording podcast field interviews (especially for the Touch which has no built in microphone).
But now TouchMic.com have resolved this problem with their newest microphone ‘MityMic’, which has been specifically designed for the iPhone or iPod Touch for recording podcasts and field interviews. At US$34 for the mic and another couple of dollars for a third party recording app, this is a great portable recording alternative for the field podcaster.
I intend to pick myself up a ‘MityMic’, and will post a sample audio recording on a future entry so that we can check out the audio quality.

Hi Brendon,
Thanks so much for the review. I’ve been looking high and low for something like this. I’m very curious to know the quality of recording if the recorder ipod is set on a table (as in an interview setting). I produce frequent podcasts and would like not to have to hand the device back and forth during the interview.
Thanks in advance,
Graham

What a great idea! Now if only i had an iPhone that costs $34.00, i would be in business!
Great work Mr Livingstone!
