A friend or a family member started a podcast and you want to show them your support… but what do you buy them? Equipment like microphones and headphones may sound too daunting and technical to purchase, so we’ve put together a list of our favorite gifts both physical and digital resources to podcast courses, to help you choose the best gift for your favorite podcaster!

Small and sustainable businesses are often overlooked by the public, but we believe should be given a fair chance to compete with big box stores, so we’ve compiled a list of our favorite small businesses: women-owned, black-owned, and family-owned.

Gifts come in all sizes and budgets, so keep scrolling to find recommendations from $6 all the way to $500.
