This is awesome! You sound very professional. I might look into doing this for StormChaseTN, if you don't mind.
Definitely not! I love doing this, I find it to be a nice hobby.
Also, for anyone wondering, I used a Samson C01U USB Condenser mic that I bought at Best Buy for $70. I wanted to get the Audio-Technica condenser/cardioid mic, but they didn't have it. Most of the mics are the same, no true need to pay extra money. (Unless you want a shock mount)
