Multiple mic's on a computer/laptop?

[JLCollier2005]

what's the easiest/most cost efficient method to using multiple headsets/microphones on a single computer or laptop? For example, me and my friends do a podcast, we're currently using a cheap omni-directional mic, but if we each had our own headset that'd be best....is using USB mic's an option? Thanks!

Well, there is a "mixer" in the audio section of the control panel...I guess it would work fine.

I don't see a reason why multiple USB headsets wouldn't work; though I don't have two of them to test it for you.

If you're serious about your podcasting, you might want to look into a small mixer and two discreet mics.

usb mics are perfect for that. I can't recall the name off the top of my head its blue-something, < $100 each.
