How quickly circumstances change! Just the other week, I couldn't see why I'd ever need a microphone for my Apple Silicon Mac mini - now I want one. To allow dictation, even the possibility of Siri, and to be able to make extremely simple podcast-like recordings. That is, speech only.
However, I have decided that I don't want to get a webcam and use that - because I would use either an iPhone or my Surface for video like that. And whatever else such as a MacBook Air or iPad in future.
Any recommendations? Needs to be at least decent sound quality, preferably stereo. Having listened to so many podcast recordings, I appreciate the difference a halfway decent microphone makes. And moderate cost - for someone in the UK. I have no relevant experience so simplicity is also desirable.
