A technical question.
Let's say you had a thrillingly exciting podcasting project in the works. You have three persons having a dialogue. How should you mike them? Should there be one microphone that can pick up all three? (If so, be specific if you can and recommend one.) Or should each person have a separate mike? (And if so, what would you recommend, both for the mike and for the way to feed them into one track?)

It's been a long time since I did any of this stuff, but I'd have to say one mike per person (There ae some really good, cheap "tie clip" mikes out there) and an inexpensive mixer, like this one:

And someone who is not participating in the discussion with a good set of headphones to monitor the recording and adjust levels.
