Fake Microphone
Has a loved one expressed interest in starting a podcast to give "their take" on American soccer? Did he or she even go so far as to ask for a podcasting microphone during this holiday season? Do the world a favor and get him this fake microphone. It plugs into the computer, flashes its little red light, and then ensures that whatever is said in that lonely home office stays there. As your little podcast personality goes on about how Klinsmann prefers Germany and MLS needs to accept promotion and relegation, you can rest easy knowing it's probably just a phase and no one will ever need to hear about it.
