In the Joe Rogan Experience #981 with guest Josh Barnett, at 2:52:50 Rogan sings the praises of the Blue Raspberry Microphone when explaining how easy and simple it is for him to get it out and record a podcast with it. He says:
Listen, all you need is that phone right there, and a fuckin... a microphone that plugs into it. I use this one for a podcast that I did recently, this is not an endorsement, just for anybody who’s listening to this. It's simple. This microphone right here, no endorsement, I don't even have to say the name of it - okay it's a Blue - this microphone works on a cord that plugs directly into your phone. Just set that bitch up like that. You stick this in, bang, stick that in your phone, press record, it’s that simple. And I've done actual podcasts that millions of people have listened to with this thing that sits in my hand. I close that bitch up like that, put it back in this little bag, stick it my laptop, take it anywhere you go, it works on USB, it takes no energy. Super easy to do. And then you just have to upload that somewhere.
