MICS

Explanation:
Podcasters rely on microphones to record clear audio, and "MICS" is a common shorthand for microphones. The clue plays it straight—no wordplay or tricks—just a direct reference to essential podcasting gear. Since "MICS" is plural, it hints at setups with multiple microphones, like those used in interviews or co-hosted shows.
