The PG48 will be fine for podcasts. Any Shure mic will, really. To connect the mic to your Powerbook, you're going to need a cable that goes from an XLR to a 1/8" connection. Here's one I found:

Just plug the XLR end into your mic, the 1/8" end into the audio input jack of your Powerboo, and you're all set!

The PG line is the lower end, but it's still shure and it'll be fine for podcasts.
