It's generally an OK guide, but I would suggest the mic recommendations are incorrect. I'd like to see an AT2020 USB in the mid-range and Heil PR-40 on the higher end. It's cheaper and significantly better sound. I own the H4N for mobile recording, but the quality really doesn't come close to a proper broadcast mic like Shure SM7B or the Heil. You can hear the Heil from a lot of pro podcasters and the SM7B on Marc Maron's WTF and a lot of radio hosts.
It also glosses over the use of mic arms, pop filters in getting pro sound. It's geared towards on-the-go recording and the quality will be nothing like a studio result.
Sound quality is king in podcasting! Anyone thinking of doing a solo podcast from home/office would be better steered towards something like the AT2020 for mid range or PR-40 or SM7B for a comparably equal investment compared to the mobile gear mentioned in the article.
I listen to a fair amount podcasts while I drive. My belief is that though poor sound quality can turn listeners away, poor content will insure that there are few listeners or none. I am willing to put up with sound quality issues for good content. I'll skip episodes with mediocre content.
YMMV.
