That’s something I noticed a while ago: all podcasters have those huge microphones in front of them - sometimes with a gigantic boom - that wouldn’t look out of place on 1950s TV. But unlike in the 1950s, they’re not trying to hide them, no no: the more visible, the bigger, the better.
I can’t figure out the point of that prop. If I did a podcast, I’d try to unclutter the shot myself.
If you’re really moving a lot and don’t/can’t move the boom with your facehole, I think you’d be better off with a lapel (small clip on) mic. While it’s true that you will always be heard, you lose depth in the voice fast if you move away from even the larger mic’s. I used a large condenser mic for a while during gaming, but I move and reposition a lot, more then I like to adjust the boom. So now I use an Antlion ModMic that clips on my headphones.
