In March, Pokemon GO players went without a Community Day for the first time since the monthly events began a few years ago.

I have no intention of traveling anywhere anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean I don’t need some sort of mobile recording solution within the confines of my own home. Being locked up in my house while working remotely, it’s a common occurrence for me to move to different rooms throughout the day, if for nothing other than a change in scenery. Of course, my Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings follow me wherever I go, and since I feel like the quality of my laptop’s internal microphone is incredibly lacking, I prefer to use a USB microphone to enhance the quality of my voice in meetings....
