Every time I record a podcast, you can hear the birds chirping and the fan's buzz
I don't want to turn off the fan and I like recording in my home office facing the woods
How do I minimize background noise?
What software would I need to clean up my audio?
Thanks in advance, guys!

this types of microphones (and possibly also the recording software) are usually made for balancing volume fluctuations.
the first thing you can do here is to change it for a near field microphone, that only records from a specified angle.
second thing is a compressor/limiter that close the mic under a certain voluum.
number 3 is a denoiser what are available either as hardware and also as software.
it is quite tricky to filter out nunwanted noises from a final recording. it is much easier to prevent those noises at the time of recording.
