I honestly have 0 equipment other than the mic itself and a foam cap on it and I certainly cannot afford an additional microphone. I edited some episodes in Audacity but that's about it. My experience with mixing and/or equipment is 2% so I don't really know much about this stuff. If you could let me know in infant terms that would be best because I'm having trouble understanding much of this. Apologies in advance. Thanks.

Hello, I'm new to these forums, never made a post before. I need some help or advice with using a Zoom H1n Handy Recorder. I'm using it to record a podcast and while recording solo episodes is fairly easy and works just fine, recording with a guest presents some problems. I only have 1 mic so two people have to get close to it to talk. Is there any way that I can point the mic upwards for example and pick up multiple people speaking at once? I have plans to record an episode with maybe 3-4 people including myself and I want this to sound good. Any tips you have on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
