It was the summer of 2017. I was a few episodes into starting up a new podcast and decided it was time to step up from my dependable but tiny Samson Go Mic in favor of something a little more professional. I had been eyeing the universally beloved $129 Blue Yeti microphone for a while, and as soon as an Prime Day deal hit, I pulled the trigger without thinking twice. I didn’t know it at the time, but I had just made one of my best tech purchases ever.
